Good Morning

Book 76 - Susan Hill "The Small Hand"

Susan Hill "The Small Hand" (Profile Books)





Adam Snow, an antiquarian book dealer, is returning to London following a business call.
In attempting to correct the car to the main route, he loses his way.
The atmosphere becomes eerie as he finds himself confronting a neglected Edwardian home.
"As he approaches the door, he is startled to feel the unmistakable sensation of a small, cold hand creeping into his own."
His puzzlement lays the groundwork for a series of strange happenings.
The memory of the small hand never quite leaves him.
Imagination???


The traditional English ghost story is alive and well!
Although there are a few indications that the story is sent in the present, the feel is timeless.
The psychological horror feels gothic, vintage.
The novel's tension builds slowly and a fine ghost story emerges without sex, gore, or widespread violence.

It's an unsettling tale and quite frankly it's creepy, as the intentions of the child spirit unfold.
I thought it made a good Halloween read.

Today In Medway

Well, all that storm passed over in the night as today was quite a good mild day. Do in the ned I di manage to do four visits in the Medway area. I did not leave home till midday and arrived back after eight. I had a meal at my local pub this evening before going home.


I had the very tasty fish and chips which became reduced to just four pounds plus a drink.



Whilst in Medway, well Rainham actually, I picked up three LPs for free and three Cds for a quid.

More details of these and other discoveries tomorrow.

However, it was cool getting this LP for free.




Bit of a one-off she was.

Just Wondering

Have you started listening to Christmas music yet? Is there are particular song that you always start with?
(To tell you the truth I am quite adverse to them)

Started with any of your holiday baking yet?

What's your 'poison' - rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or all of the above?
