She is going to the ice in the spring of the year

I feel at this point that I am disappointing everyone by reporting that I had yet another sleepless night thanks to a body full of pain and another sleepless day thanks to a street full of jackhammers, but I really appreciate that my father finished listening to the BBC Radio 4 production of Michelle Paver's Dark Matter (2010) and thought immediately that I would like to hear an Arctic ghost story set in 1937. I am far less designed by nature for any form of audiobook than for just reading the book myself, but I became tragically fond of Lee Ingleby based entirely on his Jonah-role in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) and may sleeplessly give this programme a try.

You are very much not a disappointment. I'm just sorry you're going through this.

*hugs*

I have to say I'm not thrilled about it myself.

I read Dark Matter recently and oddly enough I found the reading more effective... Maybe that's something to do with the tradition of oral ghost stories.

Interesting! It is a very good choice for a ghost story told in the dark.

(I'm still going to want the novel. I really am print-oriented in this regard.)

I'd also recommend Will Maclean's The Apparition Phase if you've not read it.

I've never even heard of it! Speak to me.
