Publisher's 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.

"Definitely small"
As stories go this was not the most exciting I have ever heard, and I'll probably not listen to it again. I'm not sure if it is the actual story or the narrator that I had problems with although it might be that both combined to make a drab listen. At times the narrator seemed to have an almost monotone to his voice, whilst the story was like being hand lead through a bowl of rather thick porridge. Small is the right word for this listen, small excitement, small plot and small interest are rather on the generous side.

"Not Susan Hills best"
I absolutely adore The Woman In Black by Susan Hill so I downloaded this in great anticipation
I made the mistake of not noticing it was only a three hour or so audio (I prefer at least a 10 hour one) but never the less I thought its Susan Hill its still bound to be great . However for me it was a disappointment. There were parts of the story that were built up to be relevant ( like the trip to the monastry) only to turn out just to be a means to an end. Yes it was supposed to be a ghost stort but it had none of the tension & atmospheric punch of T W I B Waste of a credit for me I,m afraid1 of 1 people found this review helpful
