I was expecting a mild horror book, I truly did. And I was satisfied with everything this book gave me. However, the only thing which really made me ask a few questions is why wasn't this written in 3rd voice narrator? I think that's just me. 
 The story follows Arthur Kipps, who is old amd living in a nice cottage with his family, and during Christmas time is struck by the remembrance of a few odd things. During the burial of a client of his(not really his, but let's just keep up with this), he sees a woman in black. Surprise(not really), she is a ghost, and she follows him. 
 This client lives in an awkward place, near a mud. Of course, crackes start to be heard and everything becomes terrifying. I'll stop here with the details, I don't want to spoil you. 
 Atmosphere is a key word for this book. It has long descriptions and they are enjoyable and you feel like you're falling even more for this book. The horror is well-made, and made me shiver a couple times and shout to the book. 
 It could be better, of course. Sometimes the descriptions were too exagerate, and I couldn't finish it in maximum two standings, as I hoped. But it is a really enjoyable read, and if you want to be afraid of skinny pale girl wearing black, this is your recipe.
