So scary, what a great story! May 12, 2008

If you like ghost stories then this is for you! This was recommended to me by my librarian and it was sooo good. I read it, my girlfriend read it and then we went to see the play in the west end and that was brilliant too.

It has all the ingredients of a great ghost story, suspense, murder, fog, a lonely house, a mystery and a great finale at the end. I cant say too much here without giving away too much, but I really enjoyed it.

Read this book!!!

AMAZING GHOST STORY April 15, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This book is truly thrilling. It is both frightening and moving and is a great read for anyone who either likes ghost stories in general or anyone who is studying the Victorians. The book has been made into a play in the West end and I would highly recommend it - read the book first though.

Spine-Chilling January 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

When a solicitor called Arthur Kipps is ordered to receive the funeral papers from the passed away Alice Drablow, a creepy sense of unease begins to take hold. Before he knows it, a woman in black starts to haunt him and the community below the solitary house. In order for Kipps to keep his sanity, he must escape the grasp of the woman in black and protect his life.
This book is a genuine spine-chiller. Every chapter, a creepy sense of a presence or spectre is behind you as you read with anticipation. The fear is suspensful and intense, the creepiness builds up on a very gradual, and very tense rate, and you will be gripped to read further.
A definite must-read novel... Very cleverly written and crafted beautifully into the pages and your mind, with the setting very much being painted into your mind. The setting is very imaginable and very genuine. The fear is weighing on your shoulders, feeling like a ghost is gripping it, and whispering in your ears as your eyes follow the haunting words on the pages.
Read it in the dark - I dare you.....

Think this book has passed the last two reviewers by. December 18, 2007

It really is a fab ghost story. There is a palpable sense of unease from start to finish which many ghost stories lack. If you want something to read in a single sitting in front of the fire over Christmas then you can't go too far wrong. If you want blood, gore and general horror nastiness read something less 'traditional'.
