About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

1867. On a dark and chilling night Eliza Caine arrives in Norfolk to take up her position as governess at Gaudlin Hall. As she makes her way across the station platform, a pair of invisible hands push her from behind into the path of an approaching train. She is only saved by the vigilance of a passing doctor.

It is the start of a journey into a world of abandoned children, unexplained occurrences and terrifying experiences which Eliza will have to overcome if she is to survive the secrets that lie within Gaudlin’s walls....

What a great story! In the vein of 'The Woman In Black' and "Turn of the Screw". Evocatively read and will definitely go in search of more like this.

Traditional English Ghost Story A+

Predictable but still enjoyable (there was only one little twist I didn't see coming; the rest of the book followed a pretty standard horror story template). Harrie Hayes did a wonderful job.

I really enjoyed this. I had no idea what to expect but I loved all of it. The main characters were relatable and fascinating and please let there be a sequel!

Eerie and moody!
