The Woman in Black by Susan Hill
3.0

As a disclaimer, I received this as a book giveaway, but that did not bias my view of this novel.

In an culture where soulless vampire and zombie books are the norm, Susan Hill's ghost story is a refreshing work of suspense. She artfully blends language and plot, immersing her reader in an intriguing story. While the introduction was a bit dull, the rest of the book flowed seamlessly and quickly to a heart-wrenching conclusion. A fascinating little tale that will make your toes curl.

It is rare I sit and read a book from start to finish without pause. While not fitfully compelled to finish this novel, I simply could not put it down. A fine work, and a perfect Christmas present from Susan Hill and the fine folks at David R. Godine.
