Olympia reads 'The Turn of the Screw'
Added 2020-10-24 12:59:41 +0000 UTCAs a companion piece to tonight's episode of Full Of It and to fully immerse ourselves in the spooky season, I present a reading of Henry James' 1898 horror novella The Turn of the Screw. It's a dense, Victorian yarn and as such gets wordy af in a lot of places, but the atmospheric build should keep us all engrossed in this classic ghost story.
This work has inspired many adaptations over the years but most recently was the basis for the Netflix miniseries The Haunting of Bly Manor. Available to all patrons - grab a hot bev and enjoy the crackling fire and whistle of the wind. π

2020-10-27 05:39:36 +0000 UTCI thought maybe you'd be reading for 20 minutes or so but 3 HOURS? You're a gem!

2020-10-25 16:48:44 +0000 UTCYou're SO good at this! Most audiobooks annoy me cos the narration is too slow but your reading was the perfect speed. Brilliant. Thank you x

2020-10-25 07:56:52 +0000 UTCI absolutely adore audiobooks and this was read so perfectly. I know Iβm going to be falling asleep to this many many times over. Being so addicted to Full of It though it was so odd to hear you reading things that on the podcast would have evoked a reference from you. 3hrs and no βoh my mother!β Or βcheap flights to Cancunβ how did you do it haha! Loved it x
2020-10-24 15:53:09 +0000 UTCWow you read that perfectly!.. And you say you don't like to read? A joy to listen too x
2020-10-24 15:06:39 +0000 UTCOne of my favourite novels read by one of my favourite people with a soothing voice and a charming accent. What more could one possibly want? π₯° Thank you so much and I really, REALLY hope this would become a thing. Like once a month or something? Hm? Please? π₯Ί All right then, love ya, cheers! π
2020-10-24 14:40:09 +0000 UTCGiving it a spin now - thank you!
