Book of Interest: The Woman in Black

I've seen the movie The Woman in Black a couple of times, it's a really good scary movie that doesn't have to rely on gore to tell a story. However, I had no idea it was based on a book which of course I want to read. I love a good ghost story and if the movie is anything to go by then hopefully that means the books is even better.

Book: The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

Description:

Arthur Kipps is an up-and-coming London solicitor who is sent to Crythin Gifford—a faraway town in the windswept salt marshes beyond Nine Lives Causeway—to attend the funeral and settle the affairs of a client, Mrs. Alice Drablow of Eel Marsh House. Mrs. Drablow’s house stands at the end of the causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but Kipps is unaware of the tragic secrets that lie hidden behind its sheltered windows.

The routine business trip he anticipated quickly takes a horrifying turn when he finds himself haunted by a series of mysterious sounds and images—a rocking chair in a deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child’s scream in the fog, and, most terrifying of all, a ghostly woman dressed all in black.
