Publisher's summary

The number one best seller read by Christopher Eccleston, star of Dr Who

Preston Oldcorn lay quite still, eyes tight shut, trying to shrug off the cold grip of the nightmare....

It was 9:22 p.m. It was always 9:22 p.m. A cold hand plunged into Preston’s chest and tightened its icy grip around his heart. In an instant, Preston was dead....

Soon he finds himself in a desolate void between life and death. Preston must stay one step ahead of his terrifying enemies in a desperate bid to save his soul. He must brave his greatest fear - Cold Bath Street.

A Gothic thriller - think Hunger Games crossed with Artemis Fowl - that will keep you gripped to the end. Includes an afterword read by the author.

“Cold Bath Street is thrilling and deeply moving. I loved the originality of its premise. Just wonderful!” (Christopher Eccleston, internationally acclaimed actor)

An awesome listen for your next road trip!

I listed to this book during a trip to Pascagoula, Mississippi from metro Atlanta, Georgia and barely remember making the drive. This story utterly transported me into a space both between and unseen that I've always sensed but have never quite been able to name. I found myself rooting for Preston as I felt my own ordinary road trip become extraordinary with a consciousness of what other realities might be unfolding just below the surface of my mundane life. I especially enjoyed how Preston's unfolding steps released the pain of others and how his redemption seemed inextricably tied to the fragility of accidental friendships. Hearing A.J. Hartley's voice at the end of the book surprised me, and it was nice to hear a bit of the background. Having zero knowledge of, or connection to, the setting and legends did not at all spoil the effect this book had on me...that, somewhere just beyond our awareness, great stories (like ghosts) live on.
