What are we listening to? (audiobooks)
I just finished listening to The Turn of the Screw by Henry James (Audible audiobook read by Emma Thompson, Richard Armitage - introduction). It so confused me as to what actually occurred in the story that I immediately followed it with The Turn of the Screw by Henry James (Librivox Audiobook read by Nikolle Doolin). I came to the opinion that . . .

Spoiler:
. . . there were no ghosts. The governess/narrator of the story was mad as a hatter and she ultimately killed her charge, probably by inadvertently smothering him. I did some digging, and there seems to be a lively debate about all those points: whether she was mad, whether she was responsible for Mile's demise, and whether the ghosts she saw were real. I've picked my side.
