Download A Whisper in the Dark: Turbulent Tales from Louisa May Alcott AudioBook Free

From the writer of Little Women comes a collection of gothic, intimate, and spellbinding tales guaranteed to astonish and please. This collection signifies the best of Alcott's adult oeuvre. The reviews in this volume display dramatic level and thrilling, suspenseful plots that show Alcott to be always a complex and excited writer. Listeners will discover in this particular maelstrom of murder, deceit, obsessive desire, treachery, duplicity, and betrayal that love and honor can still overcome all. The reserve takes its subject from the tale "A Whisper in the Dark", probably Alcott's gothic masterpiece, a story of imperiled innocence. Also presented are "The Abbot's Ghost", one of Alcott's few supernatural thrillers; "Perilous Play", a sensationalist tale in which she shows that with the correct stimulation - in this case hashish - even the innocent reveal a dark aspect; and "V. V.; or Plots and Counterplots", which presents the inexplicable Virginie Varens, the darkest heroine in all her work.
