Beschreibung

A remote house on the marsh. A woman in black who never leaves.

Arthur Kipps is sent to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, the reclusive owner of Eel Marsh House. The house stands isolated at the end of a causeway, cut off by tide and fog, its windows staring across empty marshland.

At the funeral, Kipps glimpses a wasted woman dressed entirely in black. No one will acknowledge her. In the village, silence follows her name. As Kipps remains at the house to settle Drablow's affairs, the atmosphere tightens. Footsteps echo in empty rooms. A child's cry carries across the marsh.

This collection centers on the novella that made Hill's reputation, a ghost story in which grief becomes vengeance and the past refuses burial. The additional tales deepen that sense of unease, where ordinary lives are unsettled by forces that cannot be reasoned with.
