About this listen
A stirring psychological thriller adapted into the movie The Haunted Airman starring Robert Pattinson.
Toby Jugg, a fighter pilot shot down in combat, is now confined to his bed with little hope of walking again. He is also the heir to a considerable fortune—a fortune that is being administered by a board of trustees until he comes of age.
But night after night, out there in the moonlight, Something was trying to get in at the bedroom window. A huge malevolent Something. Something not of this world. Inside, Toby thought first that he was hallucinating, then that he must be going mad, finally that this evil Something was real and striving to reach him.
So begins what is probably Dennis Wheatley's most terrifying story of the supernatural. The struggle which ensues brings Toby unexpected help but also treachery as it moves inexorably towards an appalling confrontation and seemingly inevitable catastrophe.

I wasn't sure about this one.
It started slow, really slow. I like a good haunting or mystery but it started slow. There was a lot of character building and back story involved. But honestly by the end I was screaming at characters as if I could help them and cursing the ones I hated. I am so very glad I finished this book. Oh and the plot twist had me clutching my pearls.

When Black magic is good
The best of the 'Black Magic' series so far, this book is a stand alone novel that is well written and paced. In this book Dennis Wheatley gets away from the Gentleman Adventurer \Action Thriller genre that formed the first two novels. Instead, he has written a tense, character focused, psychological study of a haunted war veteran that sees plots upon conspiracies no-one believes. Add in a complicated scheme involving trust finds and industrial empires and you get a book that is both haunting and weighty but still a joy to read. The narration did leave something to be desired though. The performance was weak, especially when it came to voicing the foreign accents. Also I found the love story both forced and labored. But I got through both of those issues and , in the end, found one of the best books I've read this year.

Preachy and Grandstanding
This book was really hard to get through with all the soapbox grandstanding on politics, high taxes, unions and religion. I found that the telling of the story in journal form just rambles on and on. The plot was good but the rambling off topic made the story boring and confusing. I enjoyed the narration but even the narrator couldn't save this story.
