The Woman in Black

It's just bad writing. You have an 80s novel trying to act Victorian, so it's just vague time wise, language wise and structure wise. It's just a bad imitation of the kings of the genre. Also nothing happens, and instead of spookiness you get the narrator repeating to us how scared and frightened he is over and over. I don't read a horror book to listen to some guy telling me he's scared, the point is to get spooked ourselves. Anyway, it's unending, the book could've been an interesting 20 page short story but it's 10 times that, and i will not spoil the ending, but let's say it angered me more than anything else.
