Wuthering Nights: An Erotic Retelling of Wuthering Heights

by Emily Brontë, I. J. Miller Narrated by Joy Pratt

Overview

WUTHERING NIGHTS

Romantics everywhere have been enthralled by Emily Bronte's classic novel of the tragic love between beautiful, spirited Catherine Earnshaw and dark, brooding Heathcliff. The restrained desire between these two star-crossed lovers has always smoldered on the page. And now it ignites into an uncontrollable blaze. In WUTHERING NIGHTS, writer I.J. Miller reimagines this timeless story to reveal the passion between Catherine and Heathcliff--in all its forbidden glory.

Set against the stark, raw beauty of the English moors, Heathcliff, an abandoned orphan, recognizes his soulmate in wild, impulsive Catherine, the only woman who can tame his self-destructive nature. And Catherine cannot deny the all-consuming desire she feels for him, despite his low birth. Together they engage in a fiery affair--one that will possess them, enslave them, and change their destinies forever...

Editorial Reviews

NOVEMBER 2013 - AudioFile

We all knew Catherine and Heathcliff indulged in more than smoldering glances. Here at last are the missing details. Blending her naughty bits with the actual text of the original WUTHERING HEIGHTS, Miller offers true erotica—passionate, elegant, and scintillating. Joy Pratt’s delicate English voice provides the perfect complement to the text, sounding like she’d be equally at home narrating the original version, and just as compelling. Her youthful vocal quality captures the joy of young love, the naïveté of foolish choices, and the gut-wrenching blow of betrayal. She offers up a convincingly gruff and wild Heathcliff, a simpering but loving Edgar Earnshaw, and a strong and solid Hairton, in addition to the diverse group of female characters. Fans of erotica will not be disappointed. R.L.L. 2014 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine

Publishers Weekly - Audio

This isn’t quite the beloved Bronte classic you read in high school English class. But it’s not a bad retelling of it either—that is, if you don’t mind adding a healthy dose of erotica. In Miller’s version, the relationship between Catherine and Heathcliff becomes more elicit and a much more sexy. Narrator Joy Pratt brings a distinct femininity to the book, her accented voice ably capturing the spirit of the prose. Pratt’s delivery is flawless; her tone and pronunciation perfect. And, she manages to convey both the newer material and the original text in a similar manner. A Grand Central paperback. (July)
