More about the book
A beautiful hardback edition of one of the scariest and most ingenious novels ever written. 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 edition also includes four of Susan Hill's scariest ghost stories: Dolly, The Man in the Picture, Printer's Devil Court and The Small Hand 'Heartstoppingly chilling' Daily Express 'No one chills the heart like Susan Hill' Daily Telegraph VINTAGE QUARTERBOUND CLASSICS: Beautiful editions of great books to last a lifetime
