Annotation:
Susan Hill's 1983 novel made a big splash on its release, capturing the mood and style of the classic ghost stories of Henry James, Wilkie Collins, Edgar Allan Poe, and the like. Her book, set in the dreary Victorian-era moorlands, was eventually turned into a stage play, which became one of the longest-running ones in British theatrical history. Television, film, and radio versions have also been produced. The plot revolves around the young lawyer Arthur Kipps who is tasked with sorting through the papers of the late Alice Drablow. He comes upon the vision of a woman dressed in black, whose image haunts him. He begins to hear and see things that couldn't possibly be seeing, and spends a horrifying night entangled in spectral happenings. The subtle, never overwrought tale explores the theme of revenge.
