The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

4.0

---

Intense, scary and nightmarish, yet not a bit of gore. It is not really a cozy and it is not a modern horror although it was written in 1983. The style brings to mind 'The Lady in White' but it has the brevity of modern works. Despite all of that, the writing is seamless and the atmospherics are powerful. You may need to keep a light on for a few nights. One of the best ghost stories I've read in some time
