A terrifying ghost story by the bestselling author of The Woman in Black. A mysterious depiction of masked revellers at the Venice carnival hangs in the college rooms of Oliver's old professor in Cambridge. On this cold winter's night, its eerie secret is revealed by the ageing don. The dark art of the Venetian scene, instead of imitating life, has the power to entrap it. To stare into the painting is to play dangerously with the unseen demons it hides, and become the victim of its macabre beauty...

A terrifying ghost story by the bestselling author of The Woman in Black. Late one summer evening, antiquarian bookseller Adam Snow is returning from a client visit when he takes a wrong turn. He stumbles across a derelict Edwardian house and, compelled by curiosity, approaches the door. Standing before the entrance, he feels the unmistakable sensation of a small cold hand creeping into his own, 'as if a child had taken hold of it'. At first he is merely puzzled by the odd incident but then begins to suffer attacks of fear and panic, and is visited by nightmares. He is determined to learn more about the house. But when he does, he receives further, increasingly sinister, visits from the small hand.

** CONTAINS 'THE FRONT ROOM' SOON TO BE A MAJOR A24 FILM ** A terrifying collection of ghost stories by the bestselling author of The Woman in Black. From the foggy streets of Victorian London to the eerie perfection of 1950s suburbia, the everyday is invaded by the evil otherworldly in this unforgettable collection of ghost stories from the author of The Woman in Black. In the title story, on a murky evening in a warmly lit club off St James, a bishop listens closely as a paranormal detective recounts his most memorable case, one whose horrifying denouement took place in that very building. In 'The Front Room' a mother tries to protect her children from the increasingly unnerving influence of their own grandmother. A lonely boy finds a friend in 'Boy Number 21', but years later he is forced to question the nature of that friendship and to ask whether ghosts can perish in fires. This is Susan Hill at her best - flesh-creeping tales of thwarted ambition, terrifying revenge and supernatural stirrings that will leave readers wide awake long into the night.

A beautiful hardback edition of the famously terrifying ghost story, The Woman in Black, together with four other spine-chilling tales in one beautiful volume. Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, the sole inhabitant of Eel Marsh House. The house stands at the end of a causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but it is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose. This illustrated edition includes four of Susan Hill's scariest ghost stories: Dolly, The Man in the Picture, Printer's Devil Court and The Small Hand.'Heartstoppingly chilling' Daily Express'No one chills the heart like Susan Hill' Daily TelegraphVINTAGE QUARTERBOUND CLASSICS: Bound to be beautifulIllustrated by Nick Tankard

V sbornik Sjuzen Khill, izvestnoj anglijskoj pisatelnitsy, laureata prestizhnykh natsionalnykh premij, voshli chetyre rasskaza o potustoronnikh silakh i prizrakakh. V etikh rasskazakh s izyskannym naletom gotiki stiraetsja tonkaja gran mezhdu realnym i voobrazhaemym, ustupaja mesto temnym, tragicheskim, zagadochnym javlenijam. Zdes i zlobnye motylki, kotorye vyparkhivajut iz niotkuda i prevraschajut zhizn glavnogo geroja v nastojaschij koshmar, i malchik-prizrak, kotoryj neozhidanno pojavljaetsja v shkole-internate i tak zhe neozhidanno ischezaet, i zagadochnaja novaja sotrudnitsa, ot kotoroj v ofise veet raspadom i smertju, i zhelchnaja starukha, kotoraja navodit uzhas na vsju semju ne tolko pri zhizni, no i posle smerti, javljajas v dom svoego pasynka i terroriziruja detej. Tainstvennye i sjurrealistichnye, eti rasskazy mestami trogatelnye, mestami pugajuschie do murashek, mestami zabavnye. Vpervye na russkom jazyke!

Politsejskij detektiv Freja Greffkham uvolnjaetsja iz londonskoj politsii i pereezzhaet v nebolshoj sobornyj gorodok - Lafferton, kotoryj, kazhetsja, podkhodit ej idealno - interesnaja arkhitektura, zelenejuschie polja i druzheljubnoe soobschestvo. Pochti srazu ona obraschaet vnimanie na svoego nachalnika - zagadochnogo starshego inspektora Sajmona Serrejlera i ischet sposoby pochasche popadatsja emu na glaza. Rabota stanovitsja razmerennoj, no Freju vse esche bespokoit rjadovoe soobschenie o propavshej nedavno zhenschine. Kogda takie soobschenija nachinajut povtorjatsja, Freja ponimaet, chto chute ee ne obmanulo. Vmeste so starshim inspektorom Serrejlerom ej pridetsja vvjazatsja v opasnoe rassledovanie: brosit vse sily na poimku prestupnika i predotvratit ocherednoj udar po malenkomu gorodku.

Gordo i odinoko vozvyshaetsja nad prostorami soljanykh bolot osobnjak Il Marsh. Artur Kipps, molodoj londonskij advokat, po porucheniju svoej kontory vyezzhaet na pokhorony poslednej khozjajki osobnjaka i dazhe ne podozrevaet, kakie zhutkie tajny mogut skryvatsja za ego temnymi oknami. No kogda na pokhoronakh khozjajki on vstrechaet strannuju moloduju zhenschinu, odetuju vo vse chernoe, v ego serdtse zakradyvaetsja trevoga. Na voprosy Artura, kto eta tainstvennaja osoba, ljudi otvechajut molchaniem. Nikto ne khochet govorit o zhenschine v chernom - ili eto strakh vynuzhdaet ikh zaperet rot na zamok? V 2012 godu britanskij rezhisser Dzhejms Uotkins postavil po romanu odnoimennyj film, imevshij bolshoj uspekh. Glavnuju rol v kinokartine sygral Deniel Redkliff, proslavivshijsja ispolneniem roli Garri Pottera v znamenitom kinoseriale po romanam Dzhoan Rouling.

Starinnyj anglijskij gorodok Lafferton vnov perezhivaet potrjasenie. Propal malenkij malchik - ego pokhitili prjamo u dverej sobstvennogo doma. Zhiteli goroda v zameshatelstve, roditeli s trudom spravljajutsja s uzhasom i shokom. Delo peredajut Starshemu inspektoru Politsii Sajmonu Serrejleru. No i u samogo Sajmona serdtse v poslednee vremja ne na meste. God nazad on pokhoronil svoju podchinennuju, Freju Greffkham, k kotoroj nachal ispytyvat glubokie chuvstva. Ego prezhnjaja passija presleduet ego, i on ne znaet, chto delat. K tomu zhe on bespokoitsja za sudbu svoej sestry-invalida Marty; kak vskore vyjasnjaetsja - ne zrja...

Politsija Laffertona ne spravljaetsja s delom o pokhischenii detej. Kazhdyj zhitel chuvstvuet sebja po-nastojaschemu razbitym. V osobennosti starshij inspektor Sajmon Serrejler: on ne smog raskryt prestuplenie. V Jorkshire propadaet rebenok, i starshij inspektor chuvstvuet sebja objazannym pomoch mestnym v poimke pokhititelja. Mozhet li eto jorkshirskoe pokhischenie byt svjazano s delom v Laffertone? I ne nachalo li eto novoj serii prestuplenij?
