The Plague Stones

De: James Brogden

Narrado por: Matthew Lloyd Davies

From the critically acclaimed author of Hekla’s Children comes a dark and haunting tale of our world and the next.

Fleeing from a traumatic break-in, Londoners Paul and Tricia Feenan sell up to escape to the isolated Holiwell village where Tricia has inherited a property. Scattered throughout the settlement are centuries-old stones used during the Great Plague as boundary markers. No plague-sufferer was permitted to pass them and enter the village. The plague diminished, and the village survived unscathed, but since then each year the village trustees have insisted on an ancient ceremony to renew the village boundaries, until a misguided act by the Feenans’ son then reminds the village that there is a reason traditions have been rigidly stuck to, and that all acts of betrayal, even those committed centuries ago, have consequences....

Loved it!

I recently read Hex, and was extremely underwhelmed. So I was reluctant to pick up another cursed town story. I am so glad I did. This book was well written, well thought out, and even had an intriguing ending. I have always found the black death tragic yet fascinating. The author did an amazing job with this gem. I highly recommend it 👍🏾!

Good old fashioned horror!

The "ghost voice" was a little over the top but it didn't ruin my enjoyment. if you love old 80s horror by John Saul and the like, this is for you.

Perfect blend of historical and modern horror

I both read and listened to this book, and I have to say that the reader’s performance made this a truly exceptional experience. I wasn’t hooked from page 1, but it didn’t take long for me to find myself rapt and enthralled!

Love a good plague tale

Great read, performance was fantastic. Love content about the plague, great imagery. A good ending as well. Satisfying

Gruesome..Graphic.. Run..!!

I really wanted to like this book,.. however it was too gruesome,.. and that takes a lot for me not to work through.. not for the faint of heart
