A quick read but bone chilling. Reading the final word on the final page I could feel all my hairs tingle. Amazing story! Worth a read by anyone looking for a fright!!

Well-paced, intriguing, and genuinely creepy. Short, but sweet. I'll look for other ghost stories by Hill.

Lettura piacevole e il finale non mi รจ per niente dispiaciuto
mysterious tense

Frightening and suspenseful, a perfect read for Halloween. The woman in black is full of spite and exacts revenge on the innocent people of Crythin Grifford. Her actions don't make sense but sometimes people or in this case, ghosts, are just evil and there's no point in trying to find reason in them.
