Michael Hogan, Observer
The Woman in Black won’t fail to have you looking over your shoulder!
Kettle
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.

This spine-tingling novel… will certainly keep your nerves jangling
Woman's Weekly
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
