Narrated by Emily Gray. In what turns out to be a prequel to an old classic novel (I won't reveal it here), Tabby Akroyd is brought in to be nursemaid to a blasphemous little boy who refers to himself as a “heathen git” and considers himself the master of Seldom House. Tabby has to refer to the boy as “Himself” because no one will tell her his name. There are other strange happenings at Seldom House, as Tabby encounters empty-eyed ghosts and indifferent house staff, and uncovers a horrifying pact about the keeping of Seldom House. I found narrator Gray’s British-accented voice a tad too bright and pert for interpreting a story involving the walking dead.
