The Woman in Black
As a Bookshop affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
Arthur Kipps, a young London solicitor, is dispatched to the remote village of Crythin Gifford to settle the estate of the late Mrs. Alice Drablow. Her home, the isolated Eel Marsh House, sits beyond Nine Lives Causeway—cut off by tides and cloaked in perpetual fog. What begins as a routine legal duty soon descends into nightmare, as Kipps encounters unsettling sights and sounds: a rocking chair creaking in an empty nursery, the distant echo of a child’s scream, and the chilling apparition of a woman dressed in black.
A masterpiece of atmosphere and unease, The Woman in Black is a ghost story of subtle dread and psychological terror, guaranteed to linger long after the final page.
