Sour Hall by Laura Kirwan-Ashman

An Audible Exclusive 

I love a good ghost story...I love a scary, creepy one. It needs great characters, to be well structured and brilliantly performed. This is one of those stories...

A couple move to an old farm - one of them, played with such sincerity by Lucy Fallon - she inherited from her father. She simply wants to build up a business where she can sell organic goats’ cheeses and restart the project her father had started. Unfortunately her girlfriend, amazingly portrayed by Pearl Mackie of Doctor Who fame, is unaware of the presence that lurks within the cow shed. With great sound effects and a banging door that will have you checking all doors and windows before you go to sleep.

The creepiness increases as does the horror so even though the denouement is a trifle predicable the journey there is disturbing enough to be worth it. With each episode lasting around 30mins it is quick to the scares and builds the characters so that we truly care about each one and there is enough imagery and description to leave you unnerved for a long time afterwards.
