About this listen

On Christmas Eve in 1988, seven-year-old Alfie Marsden vanished in the Wentshire Forest Pass when a burst tyre forced his father, Sorrel, to stop the car. Leaving the car to summon the emergency services, Sorrel returned to find his son gone. No trace of the child, nor his remains, have ever been found.

Alfie Marsden was declared officially dead in 1995. Elusive online journalist Scott King, whose Six Stories podcasts have become an internet sensation, investigates the disappearance, interviewing six witnesses, including Sorrel, his son and his ex-partner, to try to find out what really happened that fateful night. He takes a journey through the trees of the Wentshire Forest - a place synonymous with strange sightings and tales of hidden folk who dwell there. He talks to a company that tried and failed to build a development in the forest and a psychic who claims to know where Alfie is....

Intensely dark, deeply chilling and searingly thought provoking, Changeling is an up-to-the-minute, startling thriller, taking you to places you will never, ever forget.

Six Stories book 3 is another wonderful book from Matt Wesolowski. Audio is the only way to truly experience it, and the narrators deserve their credit. Well done everyone.

The presentation isn’t as good as West Cork but it’s ok. I thought the narration of Wendy was very good and the story is interesting. Worth a listen.

Pretty Good

I'm really very impressed with this author. He writes very well and doesn't labour the plot arch to the degree it's doing the thinking for you.

The cast has been excellent throughout and the story? Well the story...

The Best so Far

A child vanishes in a wood shrouded in myth. But was the supernatural involved in Alfie's Marsden's disappearance? It's difficult to review without giving to much away but I will say it's a spooky, unnerving and atmospheric listen.

This book is particularly suited to audio as it's written as a podcast.

I’ve enjoyed all the Six Stories books so far and this had been my favourite. Was a slow burner to begin with but some genuinely creepy chapters in this book, and at times I’ve had a shiver down the spine. I’ve did guess the ending as I did with the previous book but that didn’t matter as it was a good twist! I look forward to the next one!

Highly recommend!

Best one I’ve read so far...

It's been two days and I'm still not sure that I am ready to write this review.  It's likely the review will not be a long one - not because I don't have much to say, I do! but because the more I say the more I will spoil it and because it left me completely without the right words to describe this immensely frightening and emotional book.

I chose to listen to the audiobook for this novel as I felt the narration in podcast style really lent itself to audio and I have to say it is the most amazing audio.  Using multi Narration, you follow Scott King as he interviews six key people with some involvement in the case of Alfie Marsden, who disappeared without a trace in 1988 whilst in Wentshire Forest.  As he talks to each person, a terrifying story begins to build incorporating the folklore of the forest with the reality of the case.  Each character virtually jumps from the player and into the room and the experience is so immersive that you have to remind yourself regularly that it's not real.   

Every terrifying sentence draws you in, every pause leaves you wanting more and every time I had to turn it on my thoughts were consumed with the story so far until I could listen again.  I was addicted until the very last sentence.  Whilst listening I experienced every emotion known to man from happiness, despair down to petrified and furious.  This book left me exhausted in the most unbelievable and brilliant way. 

Have you ever read/listened to a book that has stayed with you for days afterwards? This experience (because that what it is) will leave you haunted long after it ends.  Not enough stars in the world to rate this book and all I can say is read or listen to it! 

Haunting and brilliant

The third in the Six Stories series, and, for me, the best yet. I had thought I'd guessed the ending, but noooooo. Part of it, yes, but not all.
Some of the narration was, again, poor with accents not hitting the mark, but praise must be given to the woman reading Wendy's part. I believe it's the same person from book 2. She is a superb narrator. You can absolutely believe you are listening to the actual character speaking.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

The best yet

Ha! I loved this - bits of creepy, fairy wood stuff and a mystery that, whilst not all that unusual in a way, is done in this effective and gripping format. I’ve enjoyed all of this series and this is the best yet. Also, all three are performed brilliantly - no weak links to jolt you out of it.

Sooo good
