The Woman in Black - By: George Preston, 19 Aug 2008 
I was introduced to The Womanin Black by my mother who took me for a birthday treat to see the long running west end show. I was hooked. For anyone who is thinking of seeing a truly memorable playin London, this is the one. It is done with the bare minimum of props & set design, so allowing your imagination to completely take over, which it does. It is completely spine-chilling & unforgettable. Go & see it!
a real chiller - By: Mr. J. M. Harrop, 15 Aug 2008 I have read many ghost stories over the years, but this is the one that literally makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Although it was most chilling the first time I read it, I keep re-reading it from tme to time & it loses little of its power. I have banned my children from reading the book alone or watching the TV adaptation until they are 18. My wife & I were terrified out of our wits by it when it was shown on Christmas Eve & we had to keep the light on all night! The book is so much better than the adaptation, I must say , & it is extremely well written - some other modern ghost writers (eg James Herbert) just do not not match up.
So scary, what a great story! - By: SJ SMART, 12 May 2008 If you like ghost stories then this is for you! This was recommended to me by my librarian & it was sooo good. I read it, my girlfriend read it & then we went to see the playin the west end & that was brilliant too.
It has all the ingredients of a great ghost story, suspense, murder, fog, a lonely house, a mystery & a great finale at the end. I cant say too much here without giving away too much, but I really enjoyed it.
Read this book!!!
AMAZING GHOST STORY - By: K. INNS, 15 Apr 2008 This book is truly thrilling. It is both frightening & moving & is a great read for anyone who either likes ghost storiesin general or anyone who is studying the Victorians. The book has been made into a playin the West end & I would highly recommend it - read the book first though.
Spine-Chilling - By: Dooga, 25 Jan 2008 When a solicitor called Arthur Kipps is ordered to receive the funeral papers from the passed away Alice Drablow, a creepy sense of unease begins to take hold. Before he knows it, a womanin black starts to haunt him & the community below the solitary house. In order for Kipps to keep his sanity, he must escape the grasp of the womanin black & protect his life.
This book is a genuine spine-chiller. Every chapter, a creepy sense of a presence or spectre is behind you as you read with anticipation. The fear is suspensful & intense, the creepiness builds up on a very gradual, & very tense rate, & you will be gripped to read further.
A definite must-read novel... Very cleverly written & crafted beautifully into the pages & your mind, with the setting very much being painted into your mind. The setting is very imaginable & very genuine. The fear is weighing on your shoulders, feeling like a ghost is gripping it, & whisperingin your ears as your eyes follow the haunting words on the pages.
Read itin the dark - I dare you.....
