Published in 1983, Mrs Hill captures the atmosphere of a book written 100 years earlier. This is a very well written ghost story with a classic feel.4 STARS
I would first like to lay out on the table that I'm not easily scared by horror books. I don't know why, maybe it's lack of imagination, but I find horror movies much more stimulating and scary. I remember my sister telling me to read the Amityville Horror because it was terrifying, so I decided to ...
This book was first brought to my attention through the film, and the critically acclaimed play that is the second longest running show on Broadway.

Not quite a scary story but a very clever one, filled with mysteries that must be solved. I think everyone should add this book to their reading lists...especially for that dark and stormy night. Just sit in a rocking chair and let the wind whisper its thoughts to you while you read. Devlin
