From the horrifying secret of Eel Marsh House in The Woman in Black to the supernatural terror unleashed by spiteful Leonora van Vorst in Dolly and the deadly danger posed by Professor Parmitter's painting of Venice in The Man in the Picture, Susan Hill's ghost stories never fail to raise the hairs on the back of your neck and keep you turning the pages long past midnight.

Here, collected together for the first time - and also including the bestselling Printers Devil Court and The Small Hand - are all of Susan Hill's spinechilling stories of murder, magic and mayhem.

Critic Reviews

Praise for Susan Hill's ghost stories:'Susan Hill is the grande dame of English supernatural fiction Financial Times
Part of the fear she conjures up is a sense that this could happen to anyone Scotsman
An assuredly chilling ghost story -- Sadie Jones Guardian
Possesses a timeless austerity ... the very simplicity of Hill's unveiling of her story in Dolly imposes an awful inevitability on the action ... suitably wintry atmospheric storytelling. Spectator
As accomplished and effective as the rest, not tired in the least even if there is a cunning formula at work ... Best read at night for full effect Independent
Perfectly creepy ... a real chiller Saga
Susan Hill is the queen of the traditional ghost story and this one has a beautifully crafted creepiness ... Superb and scary The Times
She is incontrovertibly, unarguably the best in the field -- Barry Forshaw Independent
Everything about this book is old-fashioned in the nicest possible way. The presentation is gorgeous, reminiscent of an Edwardian school prize, and Susan Hill's superb ghost stories are already classics ... Hill's descriptions are short but wonderfully vivid, and she knows exactly how to make the flesh creep. More than this, she knows the emotions that are powerful enough to linger after death. -- Kate Saunders The Times
The high priestess of spine-tingling supernatural fiction, Susan Hill is one of those writers who always grips and entertains. Emerald Street
An excellent collection Sydney Morning Herald
