Em_jay commented on Em_jay's review of The Woman in Black
"Fog was outdoors, hanging over the river, creeping in and out of alleyways and passages, swirling thickly between the bare trees of all the parks and gardens of the city, and indoors, too, seething through cracks and crannies like sour breath, gaining a sly entrance at every opening of a door."
Books don't often truly spook me. There's enough separation between me and the world in the pages that I feel safe and at a distance from all the horrific action.
But, more than once, The Woman in Black made me glance over my shoulder. I really truly loved this short, tense ghost story, and I'm so glad I read it in October. Hill's writing feels delightfully Victorian, with plenty of rambling sentences and descriptions that carry you through the story more quickly than I expected. A perfect choice for a rainy, melancholy fall weekend.
