À propos de cet audio

Ellie Blake is recovering from a nervous breakdown. Deciding to move back to her northern roots, she and her psychiatrist husband buy Tanners Dell at auction - an old water mill in the moorland village of Bridesmoor. However, there is disquiet in the village. Tanners Dell has a terrible secret, one so well guarded no one speaks its name. But in her search for meaning, Ellie is drawn to traditional witchcraft and determined to pursue it.

All her life she has been cowed. All her life she has apologized for her very existence. And witchcraft has opened a door she could never have imagined. Imbued with power and overawed with its magic, for the first time she feels she has come home, truly knows who she is. Tanners Dell, though, with its centuries-old demonic history...well, it's a dangerous place for a novice.

S.E. England pens Neo-Gothic Horror very, very well. The author writes creepy events with skill, uses chilling imagery with mind's-eye vivid description, and conveys an uncomfortable somber mood throughout this book.
Unfortunately, she also draws out the story interminably. While I appreciate telling the story from three Points Of View - with a goal of bringing the storylines together at an admittedly satisfying Climax - England doesn't weave them.. rendering them little more than interruptions in each other for 85% of the narrative. The book feels like it's constantly building to something with very little payoff. This often spine-tingling novel is a bit of a chore.

Narrator Henriette Meire does her best to elevate the book with a spot-on reading performance - barring a bit of monotone - but can't quite manage it. Still, the "above-average" presentation is the best feature of this product.

Altogether, 'The Owlmen' rates 6 stars out of 10. It was a more than reasonable atmospheric read for a couple of quiet afternoons but failed to captivate me. When it leaves the 'Plus' menu, find something better for your Credit.

[Note: I quite appreciated one of the major themes of the book: feminist-matriarchal New-agers/Wiccans are naive fools in the face of truly evil supernatural entities. Don't mess with this stuff, "witches"]

I only made it through an hour. The story couldn't keep my attention and the author is somewhat monotone.
