The Spooker Presents

A gothic horror audio drama, this supernatural mystery is set in Wales.

Nine bells.

Eight have rung.

One remains.

On the remote Welsh island of Ynys Mynach, historian Nia Vaughan arrives at an ancient monastery expecting to spend a few quiet days researching its past.

Then a stranger arrives.

As a storm closes in and tensions grow within the monastery, Nia begins to uncover fragments of a history that was never meant to be remembered. Beneath the ancient stones, something has been waiting.

And the brothers of Ynys Mynach have been keeping watch for a very long time.

The Ninth Bell – Omnibus Edition brings together all six episodes of the original gothic horror audio drama as one continuous listening experience, with the episodic titles and credits removed.

Settle in. Turn down the lights. And return to Ynys Mynach.

The Ninth Bell is a six-part gothic horror audio drama set on Ynys Mynach, a remote island off the Welsh coast.

Blending supernatural horror, Welsh atmosphere and a mystery buried beneath centuries of religious tradition, the story follows historian Nia Vaughan as her visit to the island draws her into something far older, and far more personal, than the history she came to study.

This Omnibus Edition presents the original six-episode production as a single uninterrupted drama.

The past is beginning to surface.

As the truth about Ynys Mynach draws closer, Nia searches for answers to questions that have followed her for longer than she realises.

Within the monastery, old fears are stirring and long-held certainties begin to fracture. What has been hidden beneath the island cannot remain hidden forever – and some secrets reach far beyond the ancient stones of the monastery.

Before the Ninth Bell can ring, the past must be remembered.

Rhiannon is the fifth and penultimate chapter of The Ninth Bell, a six-part gothic horror audio drama written by P. H. Rowe.

As tensions grow within the monastery, questions about the Stranger – and what her arrival might mean – become increasingly difficult to ignore.

There is something in the air.

The Stranger has been welcomed within the monastery walls, but her arrival has unsettled more than the brothers are willing to admit.

As Nia Vaughan continues her research into the island's forgotten past, strange discoveries begin to emerge from the ancient stone. Whispers of old warnings, hidden histories and long-buried truths suggest that Ynys Mynach has been guarding more than a simple monastic tradition.

Some echoes refuse to remain silent.

Echoes in Stone is the second chapter of The Ninth Bell, a six-part gothic horror audio drama written by P. H. Rowe.
