Black Creek Crossing

By: John Saul

Narrated by: Dick Hill

Thirteen-year-old Angel Sullivan falls in love with her family's new home - the house that stands at Black Creek Crossing in the small town of Roundtree, Massachusetts. But the idyll is soon shattered as Angel learns a shocking secret about the house. It seems that a double murder took place there, and no one has lived at Black Creek Crossing since.

As Angel and her family begin to confront the mounting perils in their new dwelling, increasingly bizarre events occur in Roundtree: terrible storms strike; seemingly inexplicable "accidents" transpire; and rumors of witchcraft, a phenomenon that figured in the town's history hundreds of years earlier, begin to resurface.

Critic reviews

"Angel and Seth are two more of the immensely sympathetic and appealing teen protagonists that Saul excels at creating....[A] remarkably gratifying horror yarn." ( Booklist)

The narrator is quite annoying.

The story is good but not great. I feel that the story had to many unnecessary people and there story. The main character’s were short played and unimportant details about the family. MOST OF ALL, the Narrator had this annoying way to express the character emotions. The near whisper of the word accentuated. In fact sometimes the word was spoken in such a way that his voice went out all together. Took me from the immersion of the story. The ending was just disappointing and the overall storyline was borderline boring. Not his best book. I’m quite sad.

Great story line..

Starting out I had difficulty with reader. UT Story line kept my interest and I was able to listen whole book in one weekend

good book

great story mesmerising
very enjoyable.I don't want to write 10 more words, what a pain

I think it's about witchcraft?

It's not one of John Saul's most brilliant pieces. And to be honest, I am hours in and I still don't know what this book is about. I'm not going to finish it. But I am still a huge John Saul fan and this is probably the only book of his that I just do not get.

As far as the performance, I did not enjoy it. And honestly, probably will not listen to another book performed by him.

Love this book

I've loved this book since I was 14, but the one thing I wish was different about it was the ending, but over all it's a really fun read

An excellent story told by an excellent narrator.

I really enjoyed how the narrator read this story. His voice was expressive and captivating, I look forward to listening to any other audio books that he narrates.

One of John Saul's Best!

I have read this story a few times in the past, but discovered it all over again due to Dick Hill's reading of the story. His voice expressions of the characters and John's brilliant writing make for an outstanding read for anyone wanting an exceptional supernatural thriller!
