About this listen

Inside

A year ago Sophie Wickham stumbled into the isolated Lancashire village of Withered Hill, naked, alone and with no memory of who she is.

Surrounded by a thick ring of woodland, its inhabitants seem to be of another world, drenched in pagan, folklorish traditions.

As Sophie struggles to regain the memories of her life from before, she quickly realises she is a prisoner after multiple failed escape attempts. But is it the locals who keep her trapped, with smiles on their faces, or something else, lurking in the woods?

Outside

In London, Sophie leads a chaotic life, with too many drunken nights, inappropriate men and boring temp jobs. But things take a turn as she starts to be targeted by strange messages warning her that someone, or something, is coming for her.
With no idea who to trust, or where to turn for help, the messages become more insistent and more intimidating, urging Sophie to make her way to a place called Withered Hill…

An utterly bewitching, dual timeline folk horror story, with a truly devastating twist you have to hear to believe.

This is really good something a bit different I would definitely give it a listen, the narrator is great and the twists keep you guessing

Fantastic folk horror with a twist

Felt like a really nice way to blend honest folklore with a modern setting, which isn’t easy to do without cheapening the feel of the lore.

The reveal was great!

I read this book when it first came out, and it was my favourite read of last year. So, when it came out as an audiobook I had to get it. It did not disappoint. The narrator was perfect and I got something different from the book second time around. Loved it.

Outstanding
