I am honestly concerned that some are going to be misled by the descriptions floating around about this book and possibly miss out on enjoying a great, true to the classic style, ghost story.

I almost didn't pick this book up because I kept hearing that it is "The scariest ghost story of our time" and "Beware, it will keep you awake at night". It wasn't until I heard it was written in the style of the classic ghost story that I thought I would give it a shot.

Maybe, for some, it is truly a blood-chilling horror but I didn't get that feeling from this book at all. The only description that rings true for me is "...a ghost story by Jane Austen. Austen we cannot, alas, give you, but Susan Hill's remarkable Woman In Black comes as close as the late twentieth century is likely to provide."

For those of you wanting to scare yourself senseless, this isn't likely to do much for you.

For those who enjoy the classic authors and are looking for a ghost story you haven't read, this might be just the thing.
