About this listen

In this small but perfectly formed collection of supernatural short stories, Sophie Hannah takes the comforting scenes of everyday life and imbues them with a frisson of fear, then a gust of terror.

Why is a young woman so unnerved by the presence of a visitors book in her boyfriend's inner-city home? And whose spidery handwriting is it that fills the pages?

Critic reviews

Praise for the author: "Hannah - like Patricia Highsmith and Ruth Rendell before her - is an expert at exploring the delicate line between the ordinary and the monstrous." ( Independent)
"Sophie Hannah is genuinely Christie’s heir. Her crime novels have a deep vein of surrealism; not just in the ingenious plotting but in the seething menace lying behind the everyday." ( Scotsman)

This is a collection of short stories written by Sophie Hannah and narrated by Julia Franklin I was amazed how much Sophie Hannah squeezed into this collection of stories with a spooky twist.The narrator Julia Franklin absolutley brilliant giving these stories a voice with a humour which made me laugh outloud Given the collection lasts just over an hour in total Sophie has excelled in showcasing her writing skills and Julia her narration with just the right amount .of humour I give 5 stars to both.please produce another short story collaboration soonest
