The Woman in Black

Arthur Kipps a junior solicitor is summoned to attend the funeral Mrs Alice Drablow the sole inhabitant of Eel Marsh House unaware of the tragic secrets which lie hidden behind the shuttered windows. The house stands at the end of a causeway wreathed in fog and mystery but it is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman dressed all in black at the funeral that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose.
