Product description

A horror classic. The mist. The marsh. The eerie house. The terror. The sinister reign of the woman in black… Proud and solitary, Eel Marsh House surveys the windswept reaches of the salt marshes beyond Nine Lives Causeway. Now Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, has been called to the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, who lived in the house. It’s a dismal place, with its empty rooms and shuttered windows. And when Mr Kipps glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold. Who is she? Why is she there? None of the locals will answer his questions. It is left to Arthur alone to discover the terrible purpose of the woman in black…
