Publisher's Summary
A chilling new version of Susan Hill’s classic ghost story, narrated by Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You, The Lazarus Project).
Eel Marsh house stands alone, surveying the windswept salt marshes beyond Nine Lives Causeway. Mrs Alice Drablow lived here as a recluse. Now Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor with a London firm, is summoned to attend her funeral, unaware of the tragic and terrible secrets which lie behind the house's shuttered windows.
It is not until he glimpses a young woman at the funeral with a wasted face, dressed all in black, that a sense of profound unease begins to creep over him, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk about the woman in black or what happens whenever she is seen.
Kipps has to stay on in the lonely house, sorting out Mrs. Drablow's papers. The mist begins to enshroud it and the surrounding graveyard and the high tide cuts it off from the outside world....
Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Exquisite
Essiedu is stunning in his performance, I hope he goes on to do many more an audiobook as he is a blessing to the ears.

Hilling and suspenseful
I saw this as a play in Covent Garden in England 28 years ago. It really hit home. This version did not disappoint- in fact it is fantastic. Wonderfully narrated! Highly recommend!

A Real Production
I thought the story was thin. Nothing much to it really. I don't usually listen to scary stories but this wasn't really scary. The production however was thoroughly worth the listen. I used my headphones and the surround sound was amazing.

Breathtakingly Good.
That was a truly amazing story. I’m still catching my breath. All words have been carefully chosen.the Narrater is exceptional. I don’t think I’ve heard such concise grammar. I really loved this read.

Great narration and loved the sound effects
Captivating once you get into it! In the first chapters, I wondered where is the story heading. Then, it opens up. Loved every bit of it.
