About this listen
You ask me if I can forgive myself? I can forgive myself....
And so begins The Truth Is a Cave in the Black Mountains, a haunting story of family, the otherworld, and a search for hidden treasure. This audiobook is brought to vivid life by the characters and landscape of Gaiman’s award-winning story. In this volume, the talents and vision of two great creative geniuses come together in a glorious explosion of colour and shadow, memory and regret, vengeance and, ultimately, love....for many things. For where I left him. For what I did.

Could of been perfect
I love Neil Gaiman's stories and I love them even more when he narrates them but this one just didn't work for me the accompanying music was just a bit too loud sometimes jarred with Neil's voice. Sorry Neil... I did like the story though quite creepy.

Classic Gaiman!
Brilliant as always. You cannot help but get carried away by the story. The music is also very fitting and it lifts the experience to a different level.

Loved the story, found the music intrusive
What a fantastic tale - I loved this story, so immersive and beautifully written. But the music ruined this audio book for me - I found it intrusive and distracting, too loud against the reading, and quite jarring at times. I wish there was a version without it :/

A fabulous dark tale, brilliantly performed by Neil Gaiman.
This is like a Scottish folktale and the story is completely compelling with many twists and turns. It evokes the wild landscape of the Highlands. Neil Gaiman’s narration is superb and there’s a fantastic score that makes this really special. Highly recommend.

SHORT BUT USUAL GAIMAN QUALITY
Neil Gaiman has set expectations very high for everything he writes, anything that falls short of brilliant will be a let down.
This book was not a let down, it had the interesting characters and storyline which keeps you wanting more. The length makes it more like a short story than something that you can lose yourself in, and I found myself aware that the story was drawing to a conclusion from very early into it.
This is a must for Gaiman fans and a good introduction for those seeing if they would enjoy his work.

Superb
I saw Neil Gaiman perform this live on stage in London with the Four Play String Quartet providing the music, and was thrilled to discover that this is the same version - just brilliant!

Love Neil but far too short for what it cost!
Classic Gaimen folklore but just feels like it's the first chapter. Great rythm and music though!
