About this listen

There are stories tucked away on every floor of 10 Luckenbooth Close

1910, Edinburgh. Jessie MacRae has been sent to a tenement building by her recently deceased father to bear a child for a wealthy man and his fiancee. The harrowing events that follow lead to a curse on the building and its residents—a curse that will last for the rest of the century.

Over nine decades, 10 Luckenbooth Close bears witness to emblems of a changing world outside its walls. An infamous madam, a spy, a famous Beat poet, a coal miner who fears daylight, a psychic: these are some of the residents whose lives are plagued by the building's troubled history in disparate, sometimes chilling ways. The curse creeps up the nine floors as an enraged spirit world swells to the surface, desperate for the true horror of the building's longest kept secret to be heard.

Luckenbooth is a bold, haunting, and dazzlingly unique tale about the stories and secrets we leave behind—and the places that hold them long after we are gone.

Interesting story... rough narration

Very interesting story, and the details from the author really make it come to life. Unfortunately, the narration was tough to listen to. Some of them sound as if it was read by AI and not an actual person. I ended up skipping several parts of the audio and just reading those chapters myself because I couldn't stand the choppy and monotone narration.

Overall, I'm glad I stuck with it and will recommend this book to friends and family; but I'll tell them to just read the book themselves.

preachy and predictable

although the premise seemed promising the story develops in a very preachy and obvious way.
