About this listen
January 1937. Jack Miller has just about run out of options. His shoes have worn through, he can't afford to heat his rented room in Tooting, and he longs to use his training as a specialist wireless operator instead of working in his dead-end job. When he is given the chance to join an arctic expedition, as communications expert, by a group of elite Oxbridge graduates, he brushes off his apprehensions and convinces himself to join them.
As the young men set sail from a gloomy Britain on the verge of war, Jack feels the overwhelming excitement of not knowing what lies ahead. Little can he imagine the horrors that await him in their destination, Gruhuken, a place that cannot escape the savage echo of its past.

Disturbingly scary
Wow. I don’t think I’ll ever go up North to artic after reading this. Makes you feel totally isolated, alone. Amazing scenery and highly disturbing material. Good mix of love in here. If you like dogs this is a good book for you

Terrifying, Harrowing and Utterly Beautiful.
story in form of extended monologue. The narrator is topnotch. Loved that the author came definitively down on the side of whether there really was a ghost - or not. Wonderful period detail. Absolutely worth listening to.

Fantastic Slow-Burn
Terrifying slow burning story with a powerful atmosphere.
My only thought is that the protagonist could have have explored compassion or understanding towards the haunting a bit more. I felt things that never seemed to occur to the character and was a bit frustrated.

Confronting and scary as hell
I loved all of it, the story caught me up and left me wondering what that kind of darkness would feel like. Very scary!!!

Amazing narration, engaging story and a real spooky feeling. Can’t recommend enough to a horror fan or halloween savant

Good pace, good narration, good story.
I actually really enjoyed this story. It wasn't overly long the pace was good and the narrator did a fantastic job. My only issue would be that I personally did not find it scary. Not to say that it might not scare others, but for me, it wasn't scary.
I will listen to it at least once more because I did like it.

Excellent melodrama.
Although the author skims over the ghostly aspects of this story, she does produce an excellent melodrama that captures the desolation, isolation, desperation of a man alone in the cold, dark arctic. So, even though this is not a particularly scary ghost story as suggested in the description, it is hauntingly eerie and fascinating. Michelle Paver is an excellent writer and Jeremy Northam is her equal as a narrator.

My favourite Audible book so far
This book may not be nearly as good if read on paper but as an audible performance was captivating. #Audible1

Felt like I was there
Such an easy listen , I loved the way it was described with just enough detail to feel I was there. The story is compassionate and timed so well with the loss of light . I enjoyed this journey.
