About this listen

Innocence dies so easily. Evil lives again...and again...and again.

One hundred years ago in Port Arbello a pretty little girl began to scream. And struggle. And die. No one heard. No one saw. Just one man whose guilty heart burst in pain as he dashed himself to death in the sea.

Now something peculiar is happening in Port Arbello. The children are disappearing, one by one. An evil history is repeating itself. And one strange, terrified child has ended her silence with a scream that began 100 years ago.

I first read this book many years ago as a teenager, and its story of the children stuck in the cave has stayed with me all this time. I found it as creepy now as I did back in the 70s, and I’m glad to have revisited the Conger family.

As good as I remembered it.
