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.

Critic reviews

"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)

After several disappointing audio books I was delighted to have bought this. So evocative and descriptive with characters that felt fully wrought and engaging. This is better even than her previous book. Narration was also excellent. Can’t wait for her next one!

Eerie gothic tale for a winter’s evening

I really enjoyed this, it was quite a short book, but did exactly what it intended to achieve building up the suspense nicely, have a proper 'gotcha' moment when something unexpected suddenly occurred and a wonderful twist with a poignant meaning. Couldn't ask for more. Love the subtly gothic atmosphere.

A great story, perfect gothic suspense.
