A review by gatun
The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert
4.0
David Rintoul, who did a masterful job narrating The Devil's Detective, narrates The Secret of Crickley Hall by James Herbert. He does a wonderful job with all the accents, genders, and living/dead characters. I find him to be a dependable narrator. If he narrates a book, it will be enjoyable to listen to. In this case, I would not listen to this one at night if I am fighting insomnia. It sucked me in quickly and I am sure it will do the same on the second listen.
Crickley Hall is not your normal haunted house. It was built in the 1800's. It is an ugly house, large and block-like. It does not have the long history of haunting that most classic haunting stories have. It does have a history of flooding. All of Crickley Hall's characteristics come together when a family, grieving for the loss of their son less than a year ago, move in for a few months. Their lost son is literally lost, he disappeared and no clue or body has turned up. This is a long story, 18 hours. The story builds until things start to happen with very moments of rest in-between.
I recommend The Secret of Crickley Hall. There is something that feels like an older and classic story.
