The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
3.0
I really enjoyed this, not only was it a tale of true honest horror it also served as a warning. Jennet was so overcome with grief and anger that she never forgave and continues even through death to spite others, purposely inflicting the tragedy of her life upon other parents and continuous reliving the worst day of her life.
A really sad book at the end, and the pages were infused with the grief that befell the entire family at the death of a child. The untouched nursery was especially poignant and reflected the state of the occupants of the house who never truly moved on. Though the build up of the book left a lot to be desired; it was sometimes dull and it felt as though the story was going nowhere; the last 50-40 pages more than made up for the slow start, as the true 'horror' began.
