About this listen

The Spook and his apprentice, Thomas Ward, deal with the dark.

Together they rid the county of witches, ghosts and boggarts. But now they have unfinished business to attend to in Priestown. Deep in the catacombs of the cathedral, lurks the Spook’s nemesis - the Bane. A creature he has never been able to defeat. As Thomas and his master prepare for the battle of their lives it becomes clear that the Bane isn’t their only enemy in town. The Quisitor has arrived, searching the county for those who meddle with the dark – witches, warlocks and Spooks! When the Spook is arrested and sentenced to death it's up to Thomas, with a little help from his old friend Alice, to rescue his master and destroy the curse of Priestown

An impressive follow up to the first book in the Ward Stone Chronicles. The tension never lets up throughout the entire story. Truly gripping.

Well that escalated quickly

Great story but found the narrator’s accent an irritant. It’s full of glottal stops - coun’y for county; wa’er for water, etc. It sounds like a Londoner putting on a Lancashire accent. The east Lancashire accent, which is where our characters come from, puts a heavy emphasis on a T. I’ve never heard a Lancastrian - I’m one myself - use a glottal stop like this. The narrator of the first book much better.

Shame about narrator’s accent
