The Woman in Black

Book • 1983
In this traditional Gothic novella, Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is dispatched to Crythin Gifford to attend the funeral of Mrs. Alice Drablow and sort through her papers.

Upon arriving, he encounters a mysterious and menacing ghost, the Woman in Black, whose appearances are linked to tragic events involving children.

The story unfolds through Kipps' recollections, detailing his descent into fear and his determination to uncover the dark secrets behind the ghost's hauntings.

The novella is renowned for its atmospheric setting, vivid descriptions of the desolate marshland, and the psychological tension built through suggestion rather than explicit horror.
