About this listen
Late one summer evening, antiquarian bookseller Adam Snow is returning from a client visit when he takes a wrong turn. He stumbles across a derelict Edwardian house, and compelled by curiosity, approaches the door. Standing before the entrance, he feels the unmistakable sensation of a small cold hand creeping into his own, ‘as if a child had taken hold of it’.
At first he is merely puzzled by the odd incident but then begins to suffer attacks of fear and panic, and is visited by nightmares. He is determined to learn more about the house. But when he does, he receives further, increasingly sinister, visits from the small hand.

Cracking little ghost story.
Very much enjoyed this. In fact I couldn’t stop listening and almost did it in one sitting.
The narration is great. The characters are well written. A delight.

A good story
I really enjoyed this tale, and the narration was great. I like that the ghost story is set in a more modern time with emails etc being mentioned, rather than the usual Victorian era. The narration sometimes leant towards the ye olde style, but I still liked it. The only small criticism would be slight repetitiveness; this was perhaps for suspense building, but I sometimes felt ‘I know this already, move on with the story’. Overall a good ghost story.

Gripping
I loved this book when I first read it. It's somehow not quite the same having it read to you but it's still gripping. The narration is good.

A wonderful gothic ghost story
I adore anything Susan Hill and this together with her other short ghostly stories are well worth listening to. Overall a great presentation.

Creepy
Good ghost story.
I kept thinking it was taking place in the 30's or something, certainly not so modern, but I think that was to do with the narration more than anything. Really excellent job with that, and lent a great deal of atmosphere to the book.

The Woman In Black it is not.
Firstly, I liked the story although it was very short. However, this is the second Susan Hill story I have read that followed the same format as "The Woman in Black". In both "The Small Hand" and "The Mist in the Mirror", we have the exact same themes as in the "Woman in Black". A lonely, ramshackle house with an adictive mystery to be solved. An out of his depth protagonist who just cannot see the danger in front of him that gets befriended by a rich but kindly benefactor. Susan Hill seems to be trying to recapture the heights (or lows) of "The Woman in Black" but fails each time. I am reminded of one line from "The Woman in Black" in which an old Mr Kipp at his family Christmas gathering says something like " I surely, ,like every man (or woman in this case) has at least one ghost story inside him". Well, I think we saw Susan Hill's one ghost story in "The Woman in Black" and it was glorious. If you haven't read any of the other books, this will be quite a good introduction to her work although it is as I say, quite short but if you are looking for a genuinely scary, disturbing, atmospheric ghost story, spend your credits on "The Woman in Black" and get this in a future sale..
