Indulge in a luxurious hardback compilation of Susan Hill's most spine-tingling ghost stories, headlined by the infamous 'The Woman in Black'. This exquisite volume promises to send shivers down your spine with five harrowing tales of the supernatural.

Follow Arthur Kipps, a young solicitor, as he attends the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow at the isolated Eel Marsh House. Shrouded in mist and mystery, the house conceals dark secrets. When Kipps spots a gaunt woman clad entirely in black at the funeral, an unsettling dread begins to take hold. The locals' reluctance to discuss the enigmatic figure only deepens the mounting sense of foreboding.

This splendid illustrated edition also features four additional ghostly narratives from Hill's repertoire: 'Dolly', 'The Man in the Picture', 'Printer's Devil Court', and 'The Small Hand'. Each tale is crafted to elicit maximum terror, cementing Hill's reputation as a master of the macabre.

As the Daily Express declares, it's 'Heartstoppingly chilling', while the Daily Telegraph asserts, 'No one chills the heart like Susan Hill'. This VINTAGE QUARTERBOUND CLASSIC, adorned with Nick Tankard's haunting illustrations, is destined to become a treasured addition to any discerning reader's collection.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
