About this listen

17-year-old Sarah doesn’t believe in magic, but she thinks it’s fun to pretend to be a psychic - until her startling visions of the future turn deadly.

When Sarah Zoltanne moves from sunny California to a small town in Missouri, she feels like she'll never fit in. Her mother is dating a jerk, the kids at her school despise her, and she misses her old home. So when a popular boy asks her to tell fortunes at a school fair, she jumps at the chance. But soon her crystal ball begins to swirl with strange visions and her outlandish predictions start to come true with startling accuracy. Now Sarah must confront a community that not only mistrusts her, but also fears her strange powers.

Gallows Hill is a spine-chilling thriller based on the story of the Salem witch trials.

Editorial reviews

Written by master of young adult fiction Lois Duncan, Gallows Hill is a chilling tale based on the historic Salem witch trials, and tells the story of a young girl whose playful claim that she’s a real, live psychic takes a turn for the deadly when she begins actually to see the future...and her terrified classmates decide that something must be done.

Performer A. Savalas’ slightly scratchy voice adds an extra-spooky vibe to this supernatural mystery, and her exquisite timing will doubtless thrill listeners with a taste for tension, which this creepy audiobook has in spades!

Re-Read/Listen

I remembered this as being one of my favourites of Lois Duncan's books when I read a clutch of them years ago. I didn't like it as much this time around. I still liked Charlie very much, and the plot is good, but I'd forgotten how annoying Sarah herself is. Or maybe that's just me. She has plenty to bear, but she doesn't do herself any favours by being constantly prickly and confrontational.
