About this audiobook

It just keeps gnawing away. Really, it’s the only thing of interest in our world. If others would only see it that way, if they would only open their eyes and see things as they really are.

In this volume our classic authors including Henry James, H G Wells, Anton Chekhov, Mary Shelley and others dig deeply into the narratives and characters who just can’t move on from this psychological addiction, who can’t let go of its ever present whispers.
