Ideally spooky Halloween listening.... A chilling ghost story by the author of The Woman in Black. One murky November evening after a satisfying meal in their Fleet Street lodgings, a conversation between four medical students takes a curious turn and Hugh is initiated into a dark secret. In the cellar of their narrow lodgings in Printer's Devil Court and a little used mortuary in a subterranean annex of the hospital, they have begun to interfere with death itself, in shadowy experiments beyond the realms of medical ethics.

A mysterious depiction of masked revellers at the Venice carnival hangs in the college rooms of Oliver's old professor in Cambridge. On this cold winter's night, its eerie secret is revealed by the ageing don. The dark art of the Venetian scene, instead of imitating life, has the power to entrap it. To stare into the painting is to play dangerously with the unseen demons it hides, and become the victim of its macabre beauty....

Story
The enigmatic and brooding Detective Chief Police Inspector Simon Serrailler has long regarded drugs operations in Lafferton as a waste of time. The small-time dealers picked up outside the local high school can’t - or won’t - turn in any valuable names, so they are merely given a fine and the trail runs cold. But when the body of a 22-year-old drug addict is found in neighboring Starley, the case pulls Serrailler into the underbelly of an elaborate drug running operation that pushes narcotics out from the cities, into the suburbs, and right down to villages.

Unusual serial killer tale

By: Craig Russell
Publisher's Summary
Late one summer evening, antiquarian bookseller Adam Snow is returning from a client visit when he takes a wrong turn. He stumbles across a derelict Edwardian house, and compelled by curiosity, approaches the door. Standing before the entrance, he feels the unmistakable sensation of a small cold hand creeping into his own, ‘as if a child had taken hold of it’.
At first he is merely puzzled by the odd incident but then begins to suffer attacks of fear and panic, and is visited by nightmares. He is determined to learn more about the house. But when he does, he receives further, increasingly sinister, visits from the small hand.

Well told tale
Any additional comments?
Like The Woman in Black by the same author, this is a ghost story that is told efficiently and believably, with credible characters. Makes you wonder what you would do if faced with the same spooky circumstances. It's not a long book - under 4 hours, which is makes it enjoyable to get through in a reasonable amount of time. A nice interlude between longer reads. Very well read by the narrator.

Excellent story, exemplary narration!
Beautiful, timeless ghost story that held my attention throughout. The settings were important to the storyline, well-known gardens, a seculded monastery which provides refuge, dark and twisting country roads with frightening apparitions. This story is based in reality, the ghostly events are confusing and upsetting to participants. Tense, atmospheric, classic. I found the length perfect and resulted in a satisfying and logical ending. The narration added a lot to this story!

The small hand that creeped me out.
What made the experience of listening to The Small Hand the most enjoyable?
The narrator's voice was the most enjoyable part. He told the story so well ,and you could almost feel the emotions he was feeling.
What did you like best about this story?
The ending. I finally learned what the entire story was about and why it happened. I did not guess ahead of time what the ending would be so I really enjoyed that. Susan Hill can build tension in a story very well.
Which character – as performed by Cameron Stewart – was your favorite?
The main character was my favourite. He was easy going and easy to relate to. He is a very straight forward man . It was very refreshing hearing this story from his perspective
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, when he was left the country and went to visit the monastery in the hope of buying the book he was going to view. The eerie moments he had when he was there and the spiritual moments he spent talking to the monks,esp when he told one of them what was happening with him, how he felt he was being haunted.
Any additional comments?
This was a very good book to listen to. I do prefer The Woman In Black but this was very very good too.

Suspenseful and engaging.
Would you listen to The Small Hand again? Why?
Probably, but not soon. The suspense wouldn't be quite the same knowing the end of the story. In a few months or a year then even knowing the ending I could move along with the emotions and tension of the story. I seldom buy an audio book that I don't think would be a good story to listen to over and over.
What did you like best about this story?
Susan Hill is a good writer, her narratives describes the emotion of the scene, the characters and action without being pendantic. The suspense, of course, was there especially since it is a ghost story.
Which scene was your favorite?
The peacefulness of his visit to the library at the Monastary. I could almost smell the old books. The characters excitement and awe at the old books he was show was palpable.
If you could take any character from The Small Hand out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I think either of the librarians, I like the idea of discussing the existence of the old and rare books and the chance of new discoveries. The sister-in-law, with her calm manner would also be a good dinner companion.
Any additional comments?
Glad to have it part of my audio library. All of Susan Hills books are well written and the complexity of her characters is what makes listening to them again worthwhile because there is always a new aspect or emotion to be heard.
The narrator, Cameron Stewart, was also excellent. His voice quality is easy to listen to, easily understood (his accent isn't so heavy that is blurs the actual words) and conveys just the right amount of tension and emotion without being overly played.

One of Hill's best ghost stories
Better than woman in black, IMO this is Susan Hill's best ghost story. It is unfortunately short and will not a feature film make but it surely thrills better than some of her newer work.
The narrator is masterful and evoked just the right atmosphere. All in all a fantastic purchase.

Intriguing, but not spine-tingling
This was an interesting enough story told by an author who knows how to spin a yarn. It concerns a modern day antique book dealer and ivory-tower type pursuits, which might appeal to some listeners and leave others less intrigued. It was mildly creepy, and maybe could have used a little more angst. But, it wasn't overly long, and I was always curious about what was behind the Small Hand.

A ghost story with some twists
Short story / novelette. This story has twists and unexpected happenings, but is written as a cozy British ghost story, set in. modern times ( why should the Victorians have all the fun?). Well read by Cameron Stewart. Recommended.

Fairly good story- I didn't guess the end, so that counts a lot for me. But I needed just a sentance or two at the end of explanation to make it a more satisfying tale. Alas, I'll just have to go forward with the assumption that some kids are just jerks? Better than Dolly at least!

Vivid Descriptions
This was my first listen by Susan Hill. I look forward to listening to more of her books. What I like most is her vivid descriptions. When Adam Snow was first approaching the White House area, not only could I see the sky, foliage, and gate, but I could feel the breeze and smell the wet of the surrounding woods. Cameron Stewart's narration is perfect.

Definitely small
As stories go this was not the most exciting I have ever heard, and I'll probably not listen to it again. I'm not sure if it is the actual story or the narrator that I had problems with although it might be that both combined to make a drab listen. At times the narrator seemed to have an almost monotone to his voice, whilst the story was like being hand lead through a bowl of rather thick porridge. Small is the right word for this listen, small excitement, small plot and small interest are rather on the generous side.

Not Susan Hills best
I absolutely adore The Woman In Black by Susan Hill so I downloaded this in great anticipation
I made the mistake of not noticing it was only a three hour or so audio (I prefer at least a 10 hour one) but never the less I thought its Susan Hill its still bound to be great . However for me it was a disappointment. There were parts of the story that were built up to be relevant ( like the trip to the monastry) only to turn out just to be a means to an end. Yes it was supposed to be a ghost stort but it had none of the tension & atmospheric punch of T W I B Waste of a credit for me I,m afraid

The Woman In Black it is not.
Firstly, I liked the story although it was very short. However, this is the second Susan Hill story I have read that followed the same format as "The Woman in Black". In both "The Small Hand" and "The Mist in the Mirror", we have the exact same themes as in the "Woman in Black". A lonely, ramshackle house with an adictive mystery to be solved. An out of his depth protagonist who just cannot see the danger in front of him that gets befriended by a rich but kindly benefactor. Susan Hill seems to be trying to recapture the heights (or lows) of "The Woman in Black" but fails each time. I am reminded of one line from "The Woman in Black" in which an old Mr Kipp at his family Christmas gathering says something like " I surely, ,like every man (or woman in this case) has at least one ghost story inside him". Well, I think we saw Susan Hill's one ghost story in "The Woman in Black" and it was glorious. If you haven't read any of the other books, this will be quite a good introduction to her work although it is as I say, quite short but if you are looking for a genuinely scary, disturbing, atmospheric ghost story, spend your credits on "The Woman in Black" and get this in a future sale..

Where does The Small Hand rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is a good ghost story, but predictable. I could guess what might happen next but it was well put together with an excellent narrator who really brought the characters to life. So I would rank it easily in my top 10 ghost stories.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
The ending was some what predictable, so I wasn't especially astonished. However it was an ending that gave the story a sense of closure and left you feeling satisfied.
What does Cameron Stewart bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I thought Cameron Stewart was an excellent narrator who really put an effort into giving each character their own personality and bringing them to life.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Parts of the book were particularly spooky and did make you wonder if what Adam was experiencing was real or just a part of his imagination.
Any additional comments?
It would have been better if there were sound effects added.

Dark tale, well written and very well narrated.
I watched this on TV at Xmas, at least attempted to! it was awful! The book and especially the narration was gripping and very well done by all concerned.
A superb little ghost story, maybe a touch predictable.....but still a great way to fill in a few hours.

Excellent.
perfect length for an evening or Sunday afternoon. excellent sense of dread and not quite knowing how it well end.
