The Whistling
Books | Fiction / Ghost
Rebecca Netley
Alone in the world, Elspeth Swansome takes up the position of nanny on a remote Scottish island. Her charge, Mary, is distracted, secretive - and hasn't uttered a word since the death of her twin, William, just days after their former nanny disappeared. No one can say what happened to William. Just as no one can explain the lullabies sung in empty corridors. Nor the whistling that comes in the night... Winter draws in. Passage to the mainland becomes impossible. Elspeth finds herself trapped. But is this house haunted by the ghosts of the past? OR THE SECRETS OF THE LIVING..?

""I felt my skin as if it were new and marvelled at how it had held me through all that had been so dreadful but also all that had brought delight. I felt the impermanency of life and the steadfastness of love."<br/><br/>I don't consider myself to be a big fan of gothic settings, but when I find one I like, I fall head over heels for it.<br/><br/>The Whispering is as beautiful as it is scary; a silent kind of horror, as many of you may know.<br/><br/>How far will you go for your loved ones? Can you open your will yourself into forgetting reality as you knew it?<br/><br/>A great spooky read before Halloween hits its peak, give it a go if you're down for witchy business and creepy kids."
