Arthur Kipps, a junior
solicitor in London, is summoned to Crythin Gifford to attend the
funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, and to sort through her papers before
returning to London. It is here that Kipps first sees the woman in black
and begins to gain an impression of the mystery surrounding her. From
the funeral he travels to Eel Marsh House and sees the woman again; he
also hears the terrifying sounds on the marsh.
Despite Kipps’s
experiences he resolves to spend the night at the house and fulfil his
professional duty. It is this night at Eel Marsh House that contains the
greatest horror for Kipps. Kipps later discovers the reasons behind the
hauntings at Eel Marsh House. The book ends with the woman in black
exacting a final, terrible revenge. From Goodreads.
Another Horror book that I didn't find particularly scary. At least it was slightly scarier than The Haunting of Hill House and I felt sorry for Arthur that the ghost followed him.
