Am Reading / Friday Reads: Woman in Black

Happy Friday!  Such a gorgeous day today, I’m fixing to curl up in my porch swing and see how far I can get through this book…

The Woman in Black (Movie Tie-in Edition): A Ghost Story (Vintage) by Susan Hill

A classic ghost story: the chilling tale of a menacing specter haunting a small English town. Arthur Kipps is an up-and-coming London solicitor who is sent to Crythin Gifford–a faraway town in the windswept salt marshes beyond Nine Lives Causeway–to attend the funeral and settle the affairs of a client, Mrs. Alice Drablow of Eel Marsh House. Mrs. Drablow’s house stands at the end of the causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but Kipps is unaware of the tragic secrets that lie hidden behind its sheltered windows. The routine business trip he anticipated quickly takes a horrifying turn when he finds himself haunted by a series of mysterious sounds and images–a rocking chair in a deserted nursery, the eerie sound of a pony and trap, a child’s scream in the fog, and, most terrifying of all, a ghostly woman dressed all in black.

I picked it up a week or so ago thinking I’d blow right through it. I mean, it’s not very long.  I just haven’t felt much like reading lately though, so I am only about 50 pages in.
