A review by tinarucek
The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

3.0

I'd say it was okay. It had a few chilling moments and the prose was nice, however don't expect crafty wordplay of Victorian Gothic, if you are a great LeFanu, James or Lovecraft fan. To me it would have been much better if compressed into a short story, rather than a novella-length. I think it gives the book too much unnecessary breathing time so next apparition of the Woman in Black is not so shocking and actually quite expected. A good read for one evening.
