1) THE WOMAN IN BLACK by Susan Hill 

Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, the sole inhabitasnt of Eel Marsh House, unaware of the tragic secrets which lie hidden behind the shuttered windows.

The houser stands at the end of a causeway, wreathed in fog and mystery, but it is not until Arthur 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 speak of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose.
