The house stands isolated at the end of a causeway, cut off by tide and fog, its windows staring across empty marshland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Heartstoppingly chilling' \u003ci\u003eDaily Express\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'No one chills the heart like Susan Hill' \u003ci\u003eDaily Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVINTAGE QUARTERBOUND CLASSICS: Bound to be beautiful\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSUSAN HILL\u003c\/b\u003e has been a professional writer for over fifty years.
