Review:

“...A rare imaginative feat and the taste that it leaves is haunting.”
The Observer

From the Back Cover:

Read by Robert Powell

Huw looked at Gwyn, and looked through him. "She is coming," he said. "She won't be long now."

It all begins with the scratching in the ceiling; then the eyes appear from behind the plaster. Something is stirring in the valley; something old and powerful. Alison, Gwyn and Roger can all feel it, but only Huw seems to really understand it.

As the invevitable confrontation between past and present draws nearer, Gwyn needs to find the strength to stall the disaster that hangs over them.
