The Haunting of Leigh Harker

Written by Darcy Coates

Narrated by Emily Woo Zeller

Leigh Harker's quiet suburban home was her sanctuary for more than a decade, until things abruptly changed. Curtains open by themselves. Radios turn off and on. And a dark figure looms in the shadows of her bedroom door at night, watching her, waiting for her to finally let down her guard enough to fall asleep.

Pushed to her limits but unwilling to abandon her home, Leigh struggles to find answers. But each step forces her towards something more terrifying than she ever imagined.

A poisonous shadow seeps from the locked door beneath the stairs. The handle rattles through the night and fingernails scratch at the wood. Her home harbours dangerous secrets, and now that Leigh is trapped within its walls, she fears she may never escape.

Reviews for The Haunting of Leigh Harker

[Pinecone Jam · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A ghost tale that is haunting yet bittersweet towards the end!

[Miles Sumida · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It has really impactful ending but the bulk of the story relies a little too heavily on dream sequences to give it five stars.

[Becca James · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Another amazing book by an amazing author. This will keep you guessing until the end.

I didn’t love it. It dragged out way too long. The author should have cut the main character’s “wandering around lost and confused and scared” sequences in half and it could have been a decent book. I typically listen to books at 1.2 or 1.5x faster, but this was so repetitive and the narrator spoke so slowly I listened to it at 2x faster. I don’t think I’ll read this author again.
