About this listen

A short story inspired by Northern Ireland's famous Cooneen ghost.

A tale of family, friends, and fear....

And the unnatural force that threatens to ruin everything....

March 1913: Struggling to make ends meet, widow Bridget Murphy finds life in rural Ireland difficult, raising six children while farming her small acreage. With the help of neighbors and friends, Bridget is able to cope with the many arduous tasks and chores required of her.

When an unnatural and terrifying force invades their house, threatening their family, Bridget is surprised to see so many backs turning on her. Fearing for themselves, those she once counted on for help and support will not risk their safety for her. Father Smyth, their priest, is the only one who stands alongside their family in the battle against the uninvited and fearsome poltergeist. But, prayers alone won't run the farm. Will Bridget find a way to save her home and her family before there's nowhere left to turn?

The Story:
Set in rural Ireland in the year 1913 the Widow Murphy and her family are dealing with what they thought was a rat but turns out to be some unwanted spirit instead. This is a short retelling of the famous Irish legend of the Coonian ghost, and for all it was short – the audio was just over 30mins – there is actually a lot packed into the story for which I was surprised. Ascroft really managed to get the point of this eerie tale across in this novella.

The Narrator:
I loved Elizabeth Klett’s voice and I was glad to hear that an Irish accent was being used in this audio book. She really did a wonderful job at immersing you into this short tale, and she was able to evoke the tense and terrifying emotions that each of the characters were experiencing throughout.

The audio was crisp and clear with no distortion or background/white noise.
