 I was giving this audiobook from the author/narrator so I want to thank them for allowing me to review this book.

Well this was so creepy. I have just started reading Horror books because I don't like horror movies but I discovered that I like Horror in my books. Anyway I listened to this while I was at work in an almost empty office that was not my best idea end yet also my best idea.
The narrator really made it creepy that I was on the edge off my seat. I felt I was in the story and that the main character was telling wat happened to her.

So if you have a spare audile point please try this book out you will want more

A black velvet dress captivates a young woman in a shop window but after she buys it her perception shifts and her world changes. 

A beautifully evocative tale with compelling narration. The imagery is intoxicating, the sights, textures and smells. The main character’s train of thoughts and her increasing sense of being out of time is captured so well. A perfect wintery ghost story with a twist!
