About this audiobook

In the shadows of a rural English estate, an ancient tree harbors a vengeful spirit that preys upon the living. This classic ghost story builds unbearable tension through its slow revelation of historical horrors hidden in plain sight. It is a chilling exploration of how the past can physically manifest to exact a terrifying price.
