This movie traumatized me so I thought “why not read the book” 😅
I loved the writing with its underlying tension and creepy vibes! I half expected it to be scarier but that could be because of my experience with the movie.
The book definitely creeps you out and gives you goosebumps 🫣
Although it took a little bit to get into the novel (about 50ish pages), by the second half I didn’t want to put it down while also cowering under a blanket. I love ghost stories/books about hauntings and this did not disappoint! Highly recommend for any other ghost/haunted story lovers, and it makes a perfect rainy autumn read 👻

The Woman in Black is an amazing horror story that I really enjoyed. The suspense was amazing and the tension was built up perfectly.

A huge disappointed but still better than some other books I've read in 2023. Could be better if I would have read it younger. It git me spooked out at some point, and would be great for a chilly autumn evening. But the writing could have been better. Now it was just boring and a bit annoying not mentioning it took me out of reading flow.

The Woman in Black is perhaps the most tropey, classic ghost story - in the best way. Narrator Arthur Kipps begins the book as a skeptic of the supernatural. Once he visits Eel Marsh House, though, he must acknowledge that ghosts are real. Not only that, but he also realizes that ghosts aren't just a terrifying sight to see; ghosts can be powerful and malevolent forces, too.
The Woman In Black opens with Arthur's family telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve. I think that Arthur's narrative is the exact type of story one would hope to hear in that setting. Though the events of the story often seemed a wee bit predictable, I still felt invested in the way it all developed. Overall, The Woman In Black is a well-paced and spooky tale that I enjoyed reading!
