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 *
