An excellent example of gothic ghost story. Very different from the 2012 , Daniel Radcliffe movie, but both are deliciously chilling.

Chilling.
This book makes the hairs stand on the back of your neck.
If you like ghost stories I would recommend this short book. You follow the story of a solicitor who unveils the history of Eel Marsh House and its previous malevolent occupant.
The author certainly has a way with her words and paints a spooktactular setting.

The story itself is promising but, never quite reaches “spine-tingling” as it’s described. It would have been better off as a short story told around a camp fire. Instead, it’s drawn out with enough excessive adjectives and repetitive descriptions to feel like it was written by a student struggling to reach a required word count in a book report.

So much better than the movie, as per usual. A great read, especially if you want something shocking and scary.
Hill scares me. Really, really scares me in this book. It's really good.
A solictor tells the story of his visit to a marsh bound manor. It is the reason he doesn't tell ghost stories. Who is the pony trap, what is with the rocking chair?
Hill's terror doesn't so much come from plot, but from an excellent ability to write mood. Boy, can she write mood.
