2012: The Crystal Skull

The ancient Mayans predicted the End of Days with uncanny precision: 21 December 2012.

But they also provided the key to staving off apocalypse: a flawless sapphire of incomparable beauty carved into the perfect likeness of a human skull.

For more than four centuries, the skull and its legacy of dark intrigue and murder have been hidden, protected by a code few can break.

Now it's about to be found.

Still gives us nightmares.

—— Jonathan Hatfull , SciFiNow

It is bursting with classic Gothic horror motifs and Susan Hill is a master of atmospheric descriptions. She evokes so cleverly the decrepit Eel Marsh House, the mention of its name enough to make the locals pause, their faces darken in unspoken wariness… The Woman in Black gives a thrilling sense of unease and provides just the right level of things that go bump in the night for a spine-tingling good read.

—— Khoollect

This spine-tingling novel… will certainly keep your nerves jangling

—— Woman's Weekly

An excellent ghost story...magnificently eerie...compulsive reading

—— Evening Standard

She writes with great power, authentically chilling

—— Daily Telegraph

One of the most popular British ghost stories of modern times
