Summary

Late one summer evening, antiquarian bookseller Adam Snow is returning from a client visit when he takes a wrong turn. He stumbles across a derelict Edwardian house, and compelled by curiosity, approaches the door. Standing before the entrance, he feels the unmistakable sensation of a small cold hand creeping into his own, ‘as if a child had taken hold of it’.

At first he is merely puzzled by the odd incident but then begins to suffer attacks of fear and panic, and is visited by nightmares. He is determined to learn more about the house. But when he does, he receives further, increasingly sinister, visits from the small hand.

Cracking little ghost story.

Very much enjoyed this. In fact I couldn’t stop listening and almost did it in one sitting.
The narration is great. The characters are well written. A delight.

Gripping

I loved this book when I first read it. It's somehow not quite the same having it read to you but it's still gripping. The narration is good.

A wonderful gothic ghost story

I adore anything Susan Hill and this together with her other short ghostly stories are well worth listening to. Overall a great presentation.

Creepy

Good ghost story.

I kept thinking it was taking place in the 30's or something, certainly not so modern, but I think that was to do with the narration more than anything. Really excellent job with that, and lent a great deal of atmosphere to the book.

Another great ghost story

I love Susan Hill ghost stories and this is a very good one. I love the fact you can listen to this in one sitting and thus maintain the atmosphere. Dim the lights, close the curtains and prepare to enjoy yourself.

A perfect ghost story

So beautifully read - 5 stars not enough. Hard to say much without a spoiler, but there is nothing better than a garden gone wild to unnerve the listener.
