| Description: | Select Guide Rating ** CONTAINS 'THE FRONT ROOM' SOON TO BE A MAJOR A24 FILM ** A terrifying collection of ghost stories by the bestselling author of The Woman in Black. From the foggy streets of Victorian London to the eerie perfection of 1950s suburbia, the everyday is invaded by the evil otherworldly in this unforgettable collection of ghost stories from the author of The Woman in Black. In the title story, on a murky evening in a warmly lit club off St James, a bishop listens closely as a paranormal detective recounts his most memorable case, one whose horrifying denouement took place in that very building. In 'The Front Room' a mother tries to protect her children from the increasingly unnerving influence of their own grandmother. A lonely boy finds a friend in 'Boy Number 21', but years later he is forced to question the nature of that friendship and to ask whether ghosts can perish in fires. This is Susan Hill at her best - flesh-creeping tales of thwarted ambition, terrifying revenge and supernatural stirrings that will leave readers wide awake long into the night. A terrifying ghost story by the bestselling author of The Woman in Black. |
