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.

"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)

Outstanding
Excellent plot twists and a storyline that keeps you guessing until the very end. Beautifully written story conveying the eerie chill of the house and the clenching fear within. Fabulous narration adding drama and emotion to the tale. I loved every minute of this story and will revisit it again in the future.

Fantastic listen
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!

Gothic, atmospheric, moving
A great story. I loved it. Suitably ghostly, gothic and I enjoyed the narrators soothing voice too.
I was in floods of tears at the end, although I won't give any spoilers.

Eerie gothic tale for a winter’s evening
A great story well told. I was genuinely scared at points. It’s a dark and gothic tale. Would recommend

A great story, perfect gothic suspense.
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.

Another fabulous ghostly tale!
I loved Rebecca Netley's previous novel 'The Whistling' so I was excited to hear she was coming out with another ghost story. I was not disappointed! Interesting and well developed characters and a spooky setting. I hope the author continues with the genre. She has a talent for the spooky and the macabre.
