Publisher's Summary

The dead beckon and the girl obeys. Night after night, she answers the graveyard's call, though she dreads her encounters with the creature that dwells there.

But she'll soon come to learn that memories are much more dangerous than monsters....

Beautifully written and voiced creepy novella

Would you consider the audio edition of Danse Macabre to be better than the print version?

I'm really glad I listened to this as an audiobook – Nigel Peever's rich voice and strong performance really brought the characters to life. I could have probably done without the musical interludes, since I'm not a fan of music in audiobooks, but they were very short and not so intrusive, so on the whole I didn't really mind. It reminded me a little of being told a creepy story late at night by the light of a camp fire… would be a perfect read for Halloween!

What other book might you compare Danse Macabre to, and why?

I don’t often read novellas or horror stories, so I was branching into new territory with this, but I’m glad I did. This story was beautifully written and wonderfully creepy, with enough mystery and darkness to keep me intrigued and drawn through to the end.

Which character – as performed by Nigel Peever – was your favourite?

I loved the discussions between the gossiping children at the start, these were so well performed, and he gave them such authentic accents that they felt very real.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It was quite a short book, so it would be easy to listen to in one sitting if you wanted to – I had to listen in several to fit around my schedule, but that was fine too!
