adventurous dark funny mysterious tense

5.0

Stefan Rudnicki isn't my favourite narrator, which is not to say he's bad, he's actually excellent, but his voice is not my favourite, which isn't his fault, or anyone's, but mine. This is a fantastic tale of an academic whose life is torn apart by an occurrence in an old house who goes chasing a folkloric myth through a series of wonderfully eccentric academic and historical circles, drenched with the atmosphere of lingering antebelllum and civil war memories. A small, perfectly-formed masterpiece of strangeness and suspense.
