About this listen

"We daren't go a-hunting for fear of little men"—words from an old children's song, but to the residents of one Welsh village, it's more than just a nursery rhyme. A legend has been handed down through the ages, telling of an ancient mountain people, dedicated to evil, who were massacred by the villagers' ancestors 3,000 years ago. No animals ever graze on the northern slope of the mountain where the bloodshed took place and strange incidents befall anyone who wanders there.

What does this folktale have to do with a man's recurring nightmares, the murder of a High Court judge, an outbreak of food poisoning, a strange road accident, and the death of a rock climber? Sir Marcus Levin is determined to find out, but he may not be prepared for the truth that will be revealed in a horrifying ceremony at the heart of the mountain.

One of the finest novels by John Blackburn (1923-1993), known in his time as "today's master of horror" (The Times Literary Supplement), For Fear of Little Men (1972) is a classic of folk horror, back in print at last to chill a new generation of listeners.

I was expecting some form of folk horror, but instead I got…whatever this was meant to be.

It was unique. I’ll give it that.

Uhhh…

Really struggled thru this one. Sadly its a case of good start but lousy middle. And what mystery, horror & suspense that rushed out at the end should've been seen thruout the rest of the book in the first place.
Plus the narrator didn't help with the worse overacting this side of vaudeville. A dud.
