Ghost 19

by Simone St. James Narrated by Brittany Pressley

Overview

A woman moves to a town where she becomes obsessed with watching the lives of her neighbors while stuck in a house that refuses to let her leave in this first ever short story from the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Cold Cases.
 
Is there something wrong with Ginette Cox? It's what everyone seems to think. When a doctor suggests that what she might need is less excitement, she packs up and moves from New York City to a house in suburban NY: 19 Howard Ave.
 
The town offers Ginette little in the way of entertainment in 1959, but at least she has interesting neighbors. Whether it's the little girl with her doll or the couple and their mother-in-law, Ginette watches them from her window and makes up names and stories for them.
 
But it's not all peaceful in suburbia. Ginette finds it hard to sleep in her new house. There are strange and scary noises coming from the basement, and she is trapped, either by a ghost or her own madness.
 
But when Ginette starts to think a murder has taken place and a mysterious man starts making terrifying appearances outside her window, it's clear she must deal with whatever isn't allowing her to escape this house¿

OCTOBER 2022 - AudioFile

Brittany Pressley’s narration is captivating as she portrays Ginette, a former actress who is trying to find rest in suburban New York in 1959, per her doctor’s orders. But strange noises and an unsettling feeling of being watched make it difficult for Ginette to sleep in her new home. She becomes infatuated with watching her neighbors and creating stories for them. Her suspicion of a murder in the neighborhood calls for action, but she soon finds that she can’t leave the house. Is her mental paralysis caused by her own madness, or is it something supernaturally sinister? Pressley nails the lingo of the dialogue, which is fitting for the time period. Her voice also whispers with panic and rage to chilling effect. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
