About this listen

There is a troubled town nestled on the border of Shropshire and Powys. Steeped in folklore, domain of ghosts, it is witch haunted Wendlelow. Pity those who dwell there. Here is a collection of interconnected tales, ghostly, gothic and monstrous, so curl up by the fire, dim the lights, and prepare to be horrified.

A delightful collection of folklore horror!

My first collection of folklore horror and it was such a fun and enjoyable read! I listened to the audiobook and the narrator Aubrey Parsons greatly impersonated all the characters, changing intonation and accents, so that the legends and myths became truly alive.

As the title suggests, these are perfect to read or listen by the fire in a winter night, when a sudden light outside the window catches our attention (be careful not to look at it), or when a friend comes in with an ancient book, or when whilst reading the news, you learn about kids disappearing without any apparent reason.

I loved how most of the stories were interconnected through the diary of Elsbeth Although all the stories were entertaining and interesting, one stayed with me and it was the last one, telling about a demon eating on humans’ blood shed through violence, feasting especially during wars (of which we have more and more every day). This felt very actual and in my opinion, not that much of a legend as well.

Living in the UK, I loved these stories set at the border of Shropshire and Powys (England and Wales, respectively), and I’m looking forward to more!

Thanks to the author for the opportunity to listen to it and this is my honest opinion.

Excellent Horror.

This is an excellent book to curl up with on a dark windy and stormy night if you like to be scared to death! Well written with 10 short horror stories set in Shropshire and the Welsh borders. Dramatically narrated by Aubrey Parsons who brought the whole thing to life, or is it death?.... Highly Recommended.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review voluntarily.
