Summary

Ruby is the most violently disturbed patient ever admitted to Drummersgate Asylum, high on the bleak moors of northern England. With no improvement after two years, Dr. Jack McGowan finally decides to take a risk and hypnotizes her - with terrifying consequences.

A horrific dark force is now unleashed on the entire medical team, as each in turn attempts to unlock Ruby's shocking and sinister past. Who is this girl? And how did she manage to survive such unimaginable evil? Set in a desolate ex-mining village, where secrets are tightly kept and intruders hounded out, their questions soon lead to a haunted mill, the heart of darkness, and the father of lies.

horrible narration

This narrator has apparently never met anyone from Yorkshire or Ireland. A complete waste of a potentially brilliant story. I didn't make it past the first hour.

The story was truly horrific

A truly chilling book that had gripped me from the first chapter! Henrietta’s narration and characters were faultless.

excellent

I've seen this book a few times but always stepped away without giving it a chance...now that I have listened to it, I wholeheartedly recommend it. TW there are a lot of references for abuses of all varieties, so do not listen if they could trigger you.

This is my idea of scary!

I adore the kind of horrors that I can believe are possible. This was one such tale and I'm keenly awaiting the release of the second in the series; so much so, I've pre-ordered it. Not something I do often.

Awful attempt at a Yorkshire accent

The story was quite gripping but the terrible narration really spoiled it for me. Use of punctuation seemed off changing the meaning of sentenes. No real expression as expected from a professional narrator. Being from Yorkshire myself the fake accent really grated and spoiled it. It would have been better without this feeble intonation

brilliant

The story had me gripped from start to finish. Deliciously atmospheric and foreboding. Can't wait to read the rest in the series.
