5.0 out of 5 stars LISTEN TO IT IN THE DARK !, 23 Nov 2005
By A Customer
This is great if you tuck yourself up and turn the lights out.. maybe by a nice fire. I have read the book and seen the play adapted from it and this is another way of enjoying a really scary and well written ghost story. The reader doesn`t try and do too much... no shivery voices, nothing over-=done and thank goodness no spooky sound effects. But his quiet tone begins to get under your skin and the tension mounts bit by bit. not long before you are looking over your shoulder. It would make a great Christmas present for a family to listen to over the holiday.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great recording of a classic spine-chiller., 13 Nov 2005
By A Customer
A really excellent recording of a classic ghost story. Paul Ansdell reads this chilling novel extremely well, the mounting suspense slowly building throughout. It's worth listening to even if you've already read the book, or seen the play, and a must if you haven't!

5.0 out of 5 stars A tale of insane malice and vengeance, 18 Mar 2007
By T. Bobley "Tibley Bobley" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
The Woman in Black has to be one of the darkest and most atmospheric ghost stories I've listened to or read. A young solicitor travels north by train to attend a client's funeral and sort out her papers, happy to escape a choking London smog. At first all goes well. He loves the wide open, flat countryside and marshes and is fascinated by the austere, isolated house that can only be reached by a causeway at low tide. Before long however, he sees and hears things that shake him to the core. Susan Hill's powers of description are impressive. The stinking peasouper in London, the beautiful, wide open landscapes and skies around Crythin Gifford, the sea frets and storms around Eel Marsh House, the terrifying spectre of the woman in black and her effect on the people she haunts, are all described so that you only need to close your eyes to imagine you're there. Paul Ansdell makes an excellent job of this unabridged audiobook reading. There are 4 DVDs in the case (not 5 as is currently stated in the Amazon details above).

There are several ways to enjoy this story. I've also heard it read on BBC Digital Radio 7 by a different reader who was also very good and I've read the book. For some time I've been looking for a DVD of the 1989 film that has had some extremely positive reviews, but for some reason it only seems to be available second-hand in region 1 format and since I only have a region 2 DVD player, I'll have to wait for Amazon or some other enterprising vendor to stock it. In any case, this audiobook is one of my favourites and I highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates a good chiller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reading
Very good ghost story, similar to M.R. James I thought. But the reading is great. Fine actor. If you even *think* you might like ghost stories this is a must. Read more
