Really disturbing and sinister

Would you listen to Wailing Well again? Why?

Yes, it never fails to make my flesh creep

What was one of the most memorable moments of Wailing Well?

the battle in the forest

What about David Collings’s performance did you like?

so good at revealing only the minimum of information to keep the ending a shock

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

you'll be sorry

Any additional comments?

a great combination of the mundane and the horrible with a little humour thrown in
