Book Review : The Woman in Black by Susan Hill

Description :

"Set on the obligatory English moor, on an isolated causeway, the story has as its hero Arthur Kipps, an up-and-coming young solicitor who has come north from London to attend the funeral and settle the affairs of Mrs. Alice Drablow of Eel Marsh House. The routine formalities he anticipates give way to a tumble of events and secrets more sinister and terrifying than any nightmare: the rocking chair in the deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child's scream in the fog, and most dreadfully--and for Kipps most tragically--The Woman In Black."

⭐⭐⭐ Review :

If you have watched the movie, then probably you'd be disappointed. This book has different plots from the movie. While this book is the original story, the movie was a remake. But both have the same plot: Arthur Kipps faces the horror of Eel Marsh House and its haunting entity, The Woman in Black. Personally I'd prefer the movie than the book; its atmosphere is more terrifying, more disturbing. But I didn't regret to read this, because now I know the original plot
