Description
The ghostly episodes continue as Dominic welcomes back the inimitable Dr. Emily Middleton who helps piece together the scattered psychological fragments that create Dickens' To Be Read at Dusk ... Â

Additional sound effects of the ghostly mountain have been used, with permission, from Epidemic Sound
