About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Where ghosts tread, black feathers fall...
When Annie marries widower Edward Stonehouse and arrives at Guardbridge, his estate on the Yorkshire moors, she thinks she has finally put darkness behind her.
She is mistaken.
Edward's sister, Iris, still lives in the family home. A taxidermist and medium, she urges Annie to watch out for black feathers - claiming that they mark the spot where a spirt has visited.
At first, Annie dismisses her warnings. But, before long, she begins to feel haunted.
What exactly happened to Edward's first wife? Why is Iris so disturbed?
And should Annie really be watching for signs from the dead - or is she the one being watched?
SET ON THE YORKSHIRE MOORS IN THE 1800S, THE BLACK FEATHERS IS A GHOSTLY TALE OF MAGIC AND WICKEDNESS.

"Chilling, haunting and incredibly moving" (Barbara Copperthwaite)
"The perfect book for a cold winter’s night...an immersive gothic tale, dark and mysterious, in which it seems one must fear the living as much as the dead. Truly haunting!" (Anita Frank)

Outstanding
Excellent plot twists and a storyline that keeps you guessing until the very end. Beautifully written story conveying the eerie chill of the house and the clenching fear within. Fabulous narration adding drama and emotion to the tale. I loved every minute of this story and will revisit it again in the future.

Excellent
I really enjoyed this audio book. The story is spooky, with interesting characters and everything tied up neatly at the end. The performance was spot on too.

Absolutely beautiful.
This is probably one of the most beautiful stories I have ever listened to or read. The narrator is perfect and reads with such emotion that I shed tears, particularly in the last chapters. Great plot too. Loved it!

Gripping story
Excellent narration and extremely good story. More psychological than ghostly and would highly recommend. Loved this story from beginning to end.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time
It is a long time since I sat sobbing listening to a book. Well written story of a mother's love.

Classic gothic novel
If you like the genre you will love this book. The performance is great and whilstIbwas not surprised by the ending, it was still very satisfying. I would recommend.

Gothic, atmospheric, moving
A great story. I loved it. Suitably ghostly, gothic and I enjoyed the narrators soothing voice too.
I was in floods of tears at the end, although I won't give any spoilers.
