We just wanted to open up front this week with an appeal to you, our erstwhile listeners. You can help us solve this problem by recommending the show to your friends. What did you read this week? I read Turn of the Screw by Henry James. It is not a book about carpentry or the or woodworking or welding and anything like that. But he's written plenty of other ghost stories. He was publishing in the 19th century when it was written originally as a serial. That informs reading Charles Dickens a lot.
What makes a good ghost story? If you said creepy children, gothic architecture, and unreliable narrators, then Henry James has you covered The Turn of the Screw.
This week Andrew mangles words, Craig gets lost in James' Victorian prose, and the two solve the mystery surrounding the ghosts of Bly.
