VINTAGE QUARTERBOUND CLASSICS

Beautiful editions of great books to last a lifetime

A beautiful hardback edition of one of the scariest and most ingenious novels ever written.

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.

This illustrated edition includes four of Susan Hill's scariest ghost stories—Dolly, The Man in the Picture, Printer's Devil Court and The Small Hand.
