The Woman in Black

De: Susan Hill

Narrado por: Paapa Essiedu

A chilling new version of Susan Hill’s classic ghost story, narrated by Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You, The Lazarus Project).

Eel Marsh house stands alone, surveying the windswept salt marshes beyond Nine Lives Causeway. Mrs Alice Drablow lived here as a recluse. Now Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor with a London firm, is summoned to attend her funeral, unaware of the tragic and terrible secrets which lie behind the house's shuttered windows.

It is not until he glimpses a young woman at the funeral with a wasted face, dressed all in black, that a sense of profound unease begins to creep over him, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk about the woman in black or what happens whenever she is seen.

Kipps has to stay on in the lonely house, sorting out Mrs. Drablow's papers. The mist begins to enshroud it and the surrounding graveyard and the high tide cuts it off from the outside world....

Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

jump scares and twists

I have seen the movie, this was an unexpected surprise. I didn't know there would be jump scares but I loved it. the unexpected ending was so sad. good job with the narrations and music and sounds

Wow

This was a really fun scary story. The narrator and sounds made the story very immersive. Classic ghost story. Worth a listen.

Awesome!

The audio was freaking incredible for this book! I listened to the entire book with good headphones and it was just amazing! The music, the sound, the performance was outstanding and u can't say enough good things about it. The story (as typical) was different than the movie and I enjoyed the movie. There are some things a movie can accomplish with visuals that you can't get in a book but I still got chills a few times listening to this. I highly recommend this Audible version to a well written book, made better with a tremendous performance and the great audio!

Fabulous!

I had seen the 2012 movie starring Daniel Radcliffe and was disappointed as I really didn’t follow the plot I am so happy that I took the chance and listened. The profit on and performance are superb. Well done Audible!

outstanding!

Probably the best Susan Hill to listen to! Awesome narration! Definitely one to LISTEN! I've enjoyed Susan Hill stories, but this one was hard to put down!

Haunting and tragic

What a well written and performed story! I highly recommend you listen to this book!

Great book

Great story line and great narration. The book kept me on edge. Nicely written. Thumbs up.

Perfect ghost story.

Eerie and engaging. The narrator and music and sound effects drew me in! It was exactly what you want in a ghost storing.

The Prose

For a horror story, there wasn't many scare moments. Not a lot of gore. The best part of the story was the prose of the narrator. I could vividly see the everyday life by the descriptions of the narrator. The story isn't all that scary. The Dolby Atmos did do well with the jumpy parts though.

Amazing!

The performance was amazing!! This voice actor made me live every second of it! Wonderful
