Title: A chilling classic, superbly plotted
Review: The horror of this book creeps up on you. Susan Hill paces the plot superbly, unfolding the evil in measured doses as she pulls the reader into the story. The characters are so well-crafted. Hooper is one of the most thoroughly vile characters I've encountered in a long time, and the influence completely good character in the book, is the perfect contrast in the story, and he unwittingly enables Hooper to sink to even greater depths of vileness.. Just a superb book, crafted by a master.
