About this listen

From the critically acclaimed author of Hekla’s Children comes a dark and haunting tale of our world and the next.

Fleeing from a traumatic break-in, Londoners Paul and Tricia Feenan sell up to escape to the isolated Holiwell village where Tricia has inherited a property. Scattered throughout the settlement are centuries-old stones used during the Great Plague as boundary markers. No plague-sufferer was permitted to pass them and enter the village. The plague diminished, and the village survived unscathed, but since then each year the village trustees have insisted on an ancient ceremony to renew the village boundaries, until a misguided act by the Feenans’ son then reminds the village that there is a reason traditions have been rigidly stuck to, and that all acts of betrayal, even those committed centuries ago, have consequences....

An absolutely atmospheric, gory story with a great monster and interesting folklore. The Plague Stones also hit differently when living through the pandemic.

Great story

An engaging story maybe a little overstretched and could have been further edited in a few areas . I kept going to the end and really enjoyed the narration as it really brought the story to life . The folklore elements were also interesting too.

I really loved this story. It was very different and the timeslip was not confusing or distracting. I liked that it got on with the plot and didn't dawdle to spin out the story. I would happily read this author again. The narration was good and suited the story despite the slightly odd Welsh and Asian accents. Thoroughly enjoyable.

wonderfully different
