English Review: I don’t know exactly where I should start. I’ve read it in the English original and although I never had problems with the English language in other books, here in this book it has been difficult for me. The writing style wasn’t liquid at all, but had many nested sentences with which...
I gave The Woman in Black a listen because I had enjoyed the movie version. It was quickly obvious that the movie was more inspired by than adapted from, and it was probably the stronger for it. (Is it maybe more like the play version?)Hill set the story in an indeterminate era that is most likely t...
I was very excited for this book. I had heard great things and the movie looked really creepy ( I have not watched it yet as I wanted to finish the book first). Unfortunately I was disappointed. It wasn't bad just not as good as I was expecting. It was very slow paced for such a short book and there...
I was positively surprised about how chilly and ghostly the atmosphere was while reading. Susan Hill has created a really likeable first-person-narrator with Arthur Kipps. Arthur is a solicitor who has to travel to a remote location in England to deal with the last paper-work of a recently deceased ...
**Originally posted on www.bunnycates.com **When I first started in on this book, I have to admit I was a little disappointed. I mean 40 some odd pages in and still NOTHING had “happened”. I’m glad I stuck with it, though. I enjoyed the characters, Arthur, especially. I just kept waiting for som...
In this homage to the classic ghost stories of M.R. James, Hill gathers all the cliches together and weaves a chilling tale all her own, while leaving a trail of sly hints to show that she knows where she is coming from. Highly recommended.

În întunericul încăperii luminate doar de focul din cămin, se spun povești de groază, tradiție a noii lui familii. Copii încearcă să-l convingă și pe Ar...

Does anyone remember the splatterpunk movement in horror fiction, back in the ’80s? You know, when the shock of graphic violence replaced the emotional feeling one got from reading a genuinely eerie, spooky story? Unfortunately, I do, and I say “unfortunately,” because while I thought it was edgy ...
Mainly I liked this story because it was a quick read, and the end can leaves some chills in your spine once you grasp everything that has happened. I think the story is really well suited for a film, and while I can see a great film coming of it, I can also see a woeful failure of a film as well. R...
