About this listen
He thought he was untouchable.
David Lansdown, esteemed British horror writer and supernatural sceptic, is used to basking in the glow of the press....
Until a hastily snapped photo hits the headlines and makes his affair with his publisher’s son public.
When David finds himself at Bone Hollow, a house with a glass wall overlooking a wild and desolate moor, his only concern is writing his next best seller to bury his misdeeds in the past.
But something stirs beneath the earth. Something bound to the land. Something determined to take everything from him.
Luca Fox-Waite is still in love with the man who cast him aside, but his own childhood demons lurk in his shadow. As he discovers more about Bone Hollow’s history, he finds himself ensnared in its story - a story steeped in time and tragedy.
Because curses lie in bones, and they do not die.
The House of Little Bones is a tale of avarice, adoration, and of how the sins of the past cling to the living, as well as the dead.

Two birds, one stone, and all that.
This was quite a slow burn, but that's not to say it dragged. It was wonderfully descriptive and atmospheric, holding my attention throughout.
I preferred her novel THE RUIN OF DELICATE THINGS to this novella, but I chose to read that one, not listen to it. I personally feel Beverley's work is better experienced read. That could be the narrator's fault, I don't know, but it's more immersive that way.
For an audiobook book I'm rating this a 3 for its delivery. For the story, I'd give it 4. For the atmosphere and writing, I'd give it 4.5
A score of 4 stars sits right for me.
Good stuff.

Good narration, the character voice changes are great at keeping you on track from chapter to chapter.
Highly recommended. Draw the curtains, light a candle, pour some wine and enjoy. Listen in one sitting for the best experience.
A chilling story!
