No one chills the heart like Susan Hill

An excellent ghost story… magnificently eerie… compulsive reading

A rattling good yarn, the sort that chills the mind as well as the spine

Heartstoppingly chilling

Terrifying... creepy classic

Susan Hill is the reigning queen of ghost writers and her period novella…is a classic, broodingly creepy and at times terrifying

Hill’s haunting tales may be slim, but they pull no punches…

She writes with great power… Authentically chilling

One of the strongest stories of supernatural horror...the work bursts into life and does not flag until the end

Irresistibly dramatic... Susan Hill has done the genre real honour

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.

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

‘A brilliant, enthralling debut’

A terrifically chilling exploration of the darkness at the heart of a seemingly ordinary marriage, the life of quiet desperation behind a neat suburban door. Gripping and horribly plausible

Gritty, emotional and so believable
