The Return of the Soul

By: Robert Smythe Hichens

Narrated by: James Holt

A terrifying story of spiritual reincarnation and transference that grabs the listener from the start and never lets go. It plays out very much in the style of psychological horror master Edgar Alan Poe: a sinister atmosphere, a character in distress, scary and inexplicable things happening...

The narrator as a troubled and slightly sadistic young man is forced to live with his grandmother. Resenting the situation, he takes it out on her blue eyed cat. Soon both grandmother and cat die. Seventeen years later our narrator meets a beautiful, young, intensely blue eyed woman that becomes his wife, initially all is well, but when they move into the grandmother's house, the young bride starts to look and behave more and more like grandma's cat, seeking vengeance.
