Description
Her ravaged face was a mask of the purest evil and malevolence.
Summoned to attend Mr. Drablow’s funeral in Crythin Gifford, Arthur Kipps, a young solicitor, journeys serenely to her tall, lonely house situated on the bleached salt marsh beyond Nine Lives Causeway.
He did not suspect that Eel Marsh House guarded the memories of a pitiful secret, nor did he understand — until it was too late 00 that the mysterious black-robed woman who inhabited its shuttered rooms exacted a terrible revenge.
