Susan Hill – The Woman in Black – First UK Edition 1983
£285.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Woman in Black’ by Susan Hill, published by Hamish Hamilton in 1983. A very good book with one neat inscription to the rear of the half-title page – off-set to the rear board. In a very good clipped wrapper which shows only light fading to the spine and a little wear to the corners.
A chilling gothic ghost story set in a remote English marshland. Young solicitor Arthur Kipps travels to the isolated house of Eel Marsh to settle an estate, only to encounter a vengeful spectre. As eerie events unfold, the novel builds dread through atmosphere, restraint, and psychological terror, exploring grief, isolation, and the destructive power of unresolved loss. Its classic style echoes Victorian horror while delivering emotional impact.
