Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, the house's sole inhabitant, unaware of the tragic secrets which lie hidden behind the shuttered windows. It is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose.

I was pleasantly surprised here/ i am not a horror fan but enjoyed this book alot. It was a good imitation of a gothic victorian novel. Brings to mind "Wuthering Heights" and the atmosphere the reader experiences.
well done, very suspenseful
Great book. Creepy yet well written.
Yes this is the book that the movie is based off of. But they changed everything about it. Te me they were two separate tales and I enjoy both. I’m glad I read this after seeing the movie, though. The ending was even different than in the movie. It was a completely different story, as I stated before. The way this woman wrote it made it feel as though someone in past, about 1800s, was writing it for me although this was written in the 1980s. I recommend this to a person who is ready for slower start to a tale and can handle the old-timey feel of things. Also I think that if you’ve seen the movie or are going to see the movie you should set aside some time to read this.
Good ghost story. Well written. A real page turner.
Quite a nice, although old-fashioned, ghost story. It's not really scary, so much as spooky. The writing style is very evocative.
i cant wait to read the book. i want to see the movie so badly!!
UG!! I want to see the movie so badly! But...i am afraid I might get to scared!! :\
@bookfanatic1979 - there were a few times I thought to myself "Just pull out your wand!!" LOL!
