What The Woman in Black is like to read
A fog-wreathed gothic ghost story that trades gore for creeping dread, tightening around an isolated house at the end of a causeway. The unease builds slowly through what locals won't say and what Arthur keeps glimpsing. Best for: readers who want a classical, atmospheric haunting in the M.R. James tradition.
