Sinopse

The Turn of the Screw is a short novel or a novella written by American writer Henry James. Originally published in 1898, it is ostensibly a ghost story that has lent itself well to operatic and film adaptation. Due to its ambiguous content and narrative skill, The Turn of the Screw became a favorite text of New Criticism.
The account has lent itself to dozens of different interpretations, often mutually exclusive, including those of a Freudian nature. Many critics have tried to determine what exactly is the nature of evil within the story.

    The Saturnalia carnival marks three years since Nina walked away from Philadelphia's elite Saturn Club—with its genteel debauchery, arcane pecking order, and winking interest in alchemy and the occult. In doing so, she abandoned her closest friends and her chance to climb the social ladder. Since then, she's eked out a living by telling fortunes with her Saturn Club tarot deck, a solemn initiation gift that Nina always considered a gag but has turned out to be more useful than she could have ever imagined. 
     
     
     
    For most, the Saturnalia carnival marks a brief winter reprieve for the beleaguered people of the historic city, which is being eroded by extreme weather, a collapsing economy, and feverish summers—whose disease carrying mosquitos are perhaps the only thing one can count on. Like Thanksgiving or Halloween, Saturnalia has become a purely American holiday despite its pagan roots; and nearly everyone, rich or poor, forgets their troubles for a moment. 
     
      
     
    For Nina, Saturnalia is simply a cruel reminder of the night that changed everything for her. But when she gets a chance call from Max, one of the Saturn Club's best-connected members and her last remaining friend, the favor he asks will plunge her back into the Club's wild solstice masquerade, on a mysterious errand she cannot say no to.

    When a young pair of newlyweds settle down into a small cottage in a quiet village, they look forward to a pleasant, pastoral life of domestic bliss. 
    The husband, a practical man, dismisses the superstitious maid's tale of an ancient curse about the local church's marble statues, which come to life each year on All Saints' Eve to wreak revenge. 
    But then, on the fateful night, he discovers that the stone slabs on which the knights rest are empty. Is his young bride in peril? 
    A gripping tale of suspense and terror which shows a very different side of this famous children's book author, best-known for her Edwardian fantasies.

    Title: The Dunwich Horror — Part 4 of 10 
    Author: H. P. Lovecraft 
    Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
    Original Publication: 1929 
    Public Domain: Yes 
    Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 62 — Part 4 of 10 
    Description: 
    Welcome to Timeless Terrors No. 62, continuing H. P. Lovecraft’s chilling masterpiece of cosmic dread: The Dunwich Horror. 
    The strange occurrences at the Whateley farmhouse intensify. Wilbur Whateley’s unnatural growth and mysterious abilities are only the beginning, as the unseen presence in the attic grows ever more powerful. Shadows move where they should not, the hills tremble with otherworldly force, and the village whispers of terror spread farther than ever. 
    Locked away with his grandfather, Wilbur nurtures a secret that is too vast, too alien, and too hungry to remain hidden. Every sound, every shadow, hints at the approaching horror, and the villagers’ fear grows alongside the incomprehensible forces at work. 
    Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings Lovecraft’s cosmic horror vividly to life, exploring the thin boundary between human reality and ancient, unknowable forces. 
    This is Part 4 of a 10-part complete audiobook. Stay tuned — the nightmare continues.
