Description
Heartstoppingly chilling, Daily Express
Read the truly terrifying classic English ghost story behind the play.
Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, the sole inhabitant of Eel Marsh House. The house stands at the end of a causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but it is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black—and her terrible purpose.
No one chills the heart like Susan Hill, Daily Telegraph
If you love The Woman in Black, try The Various Haunts of Men, the first book in Susan Hill's Simon Serrailler series.
