A beautiful hardback edition of the famously terrifying ghost story, The Woman in Black, together with four other spine-chilling tales in one beautiful volume.
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.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
Haunting its readers for more than 40 years... Once read, it's hard to forget the utter strangeness of The Woman in Black... For all its magnificent period detail, and its ability to immerse us in the dark, dank place it creates, it goes beyond its own story. It acts as a portal... Read it-Jeanette Winterson, The Times
