4.5

This movie traumatized me so I thought “why not read the book” 😅

I loved the writing with its underlying tension and creepy vibes! I half expected it to be scarier but that could be because of my experience with the movie.

The book definitely creeps you out and gives you goosebumps 🫣

Although it took a little bit to get into the novel (about 50ish pages), by the second half I didn’t want to put it down while also cowering under a blanket. I love ghost stories/books about hauntings and this did not disappoint! Highly recommend for any other ghost/haunted story lovers, and it makes a perfect rainy autumn read 👻

The Woman in Black is an amazing horror story that I really enjoyed. The suspense was amazing and the tension was built up perfectly.

A huge disappointed but still better than some other books I've read in 2023. Could be better if I would have read it younger. It git me spooked out at some point, and would be great for a chilly autumn evening. But the writing could have been better. Now it was just boring and a bit annoying not mentioning it  took me out of reading flow.
