About this listen

Last February, the second Tuesday of the month was just like any other day in the life of Michael Spire. He'd never been one to believe in ghosts or things that went bump in the night, but sometimes things change. Don't they?

About the author:

Alfie Robins is not a household name in the literary world; but his first novel, Reprisal, a crime thriller set in Hull, sold more than 30,000 copies, reaching number six in the Amazon Top 100 and number one in Hardboiled. Alfie is also the author of Funeral Rites, Just Whistle, and Snakes and Losers.

If it's not an oxymoron, this was an easy listen for a horror story. Short, sharp and to the point; poor Michael's life falls apart very quickly. There are plenty of twists and weird coincidences to keep the listener on their toes. My only complaint; it wasn't enough, I wanted more! Thrilled to recommend Why Won't You Stay Dead by Alfie Robbins, well narrated by Robert Jackson-Lawrence. You can thank me later!

Easy listening horror!
