The Dark Is Rising
A young boy’s time-travelling fight against ancient evil. When the Dark comes rising, who will hold it back? This dramatisation of Susan Cooper’s cult novel is a magical journey into the supernatural.

A wonderful story to accompany me through a day’s gardening.
Feels cramped and quick

I haven’t read the source material but this audio adaption, despite great production, sound and overall ‘packaging’ is very much lacking in any kind of real story or characterisation. The main character goes from zero to hero in a matter of minutes as we’re quickly pulled through a series of barely introduced events, rituals, set pieces and other exposition which happen with very little context. Nice sound though!
Fabulous

Brings back memories of reading this as a child. Wonderful adaptation with great soundscapes and music.
