When Bill and his sister Frances arrive at The Towers, the grand but oppressive country estate of their widowed friend Mabel Franklyn, they are immediately gripped by an unseen tension. The house seems to breathe with a malignant spirit - not of ghosts in the ordinary sense, but of something far deeper and more insidious: the psychic residue of guilt, repression, and spiritual decay. As the siblings navigate an atmosphere thick with dread and emotional disturbance, Bill begins to sense forces that defy reason - unseen presences born from the inner darkness of those who once inhabited these walls. In The Damned, Algernon Blackwood - master of the supernatural and psychological horror - crafts a chilling meditation on unseen evil and the price of emotional corruption. Less a ghost story than a metaphysical haunting, this tale explores the thin boundary between human anguish and the cosmic unknown. Narrated by Phil Thames, this audiobook immerses listeners in an atmosphere of elegant terror, where silence and suggestion carry more weight than any scream
