Kvinnan i svart
av Susan Hill
»Kvinnan i svart är en av de otäckaste böckerna någonsin. Ett mästerverk.« | THERESE ERIKSSON, SvD

»En viktoriansk skräckklassiker av bästa märke.« | LOTTA OLSSON, DN

»Kvinnan i svart är en klassisk spökhistoria av den sort som kryper in under huden. Jag ryser av välbehag.« | BOKTOKIG

Den unge Londonadvokaten Arthur Kipps får i uppdrag att bege sig till en avlägset belägen landsortsstad för att närvara vid mrs Alice Drablows begravning och ordna upp det dödsbo hon lämnat efter sig.
Väl på plats slås Kipps av ortsinvånarnas märkliga ovilja att tala om Drablow; blotta omnämnandet tycks fylla dem med rädsla i synnerhet allt som rör familjens mytomspunna egendom, Eel Marsh House, som stolt och spöklikt höjer sig över de dimhöljda sankmarkernas förrädiska vidder.
Det dröjer inte länge förrän Kipps inser att stadens invånare har goda skäl att tala tyst om huset. Platsen han kommit till ruvar på en ondskefull hemlighet, en mörk gåta som på ett dunkelt men oavvisligt sätt utgår från den skrämmande gestalt som oväntat dök upp på begravningen kvinnan i svart.
Susan Hills Kvinnan i svart är en av de senaste decenniernas stora skräckromaner, ofta jämförd med Henry James klassiker När skruven dras åt.

SUSAN HILL [född 1942] är en engelsk författare som bland annat har belönats med Somerset Maugham Award, Whitbread Novel Award och John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. Hennes roman Kvinnan i svart är en av de stora moderna skräckklassikerna. År 2012 tilldelades hon den Brittiska Imperieorden (CBE) för sin författargärning. 2012 kom filmversionen av Kvinnan i svart, med Daniel Radcliffe i huvudrollen.

»Ett fantastiskt bra historia av den sort som inte bara framkallar rysningar längs ryggraden, utan också ger kusliga tankar.« | THE GUARDIAN

»En otroligt effektiv skräckroman... Nervslitande.« | THE DAILY EXPRESS

»Kvinnan i svart är så sjukt läskig att det knyter sig i magen när man läser och man får kalla kårar över hela kroppen. Nu får jag visserligen sova med lampan tänd i ett par veckor, men det var det värt!« | UNDERBARA BÖCKER

At first the unpleasantness and petty meannesses appear simply spiteful, calculated to destroy Edward's equanimity. But when spoilt Leonora is not given the birthday present of a specific dolly that she wants, affairs inexorably take a much darker turn with terrifying, life-destroying consequences for everyone.
