Short Stories About Obsession: People struggling to let things go, or being completely consumed by them

Written by Henry James

Narrated by Bill Wallis

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.

Henry James

Henry James (1843-1916) was an American author of novels, short stories, plays, and non-fiction. He spent most of his life in Europe, and much of his work regards the interactions and complexities between American and European characters. Among his works in this vein are The Portrait of a Lady (1881), The Bostonians (1886), and The Ambassadors (1903). Through his influence, James ushered in the era of American realism in literature. In his lifetime he wrote 12 plays, 112 short stories, 20 novels, and many travel and critical works. He was nominated three times for the Noble Prize in Literature.
