When Beryl Seaton accepts a position as governess for the Brooks family, she has no idea that a horrific secret is waiting for her in the nursery of a remote English mansion.

What happened to Stephen? What happened to the previous governess who was supposed to look after him? And what causes the mysterious sobbing sound that drifts through the empty rooms at night?

As she struggles to uncover the awful truth about the family, Beryl starts to realize that she's been drawn into the heart of a nightmare. And years later, as she reflects upon her time at the house, she finally understands that she might never have truly escaped.

Stephen is a horror audiobook about a young woman torn between morality and duty, and about a family trapped forever in a single moment of sorrow.
