Ilustration As Books The Small Hand
Returning home from a visit to a client late one summer's evening, antiquarian bookseller Adam Snow takes a wrong turning and stumbles across the derelict old White House. Compelled by curiosity, he approaches the door, and, standing before the entrance feels the unmistakable sensation of a small hand creeping into his own, 'as if a child had taken hold of it'.Intrigued by the encounter, he determines to learn more, and discovers that the owner's grandson had drowned tragically many years before. At first unperturbed by the odd experience, Snow begins to be plagued by haunting dreams, panic attacks, and more frequent visits from the small hand which become increasingly threatening and sinister ...

What a lovely book, inside and out. It's a hardback, but so small - about two thirds the size of a standard paperback and it has a beautiful cover. That's what first drew me in.It's a proper ghost story, well written with just the right amount of 'scaryness' without being over the top. The plot is really good and a fab ending which didn't leave any unanswered questions.I would certainly recommend you read this. If you're not into horror, don't worry, neither am I. This book in no way could beAnother great Gothic ghost story from Susan Hill - great narrative and genuinely creepy as you would expect. Susan Hill on fine form.
Susan Hill is a talented author, who seems equally at home writing literary fiction, or a series of crime novels. In recent years she has written a ghost story to be published around Christmas, or at the end of the year. You may know her first one, which has had hugely successful adaptations round the world. It is The Woman in Black.The Small Hand novella dates from 2004, but only this year has it been dramatised for television by the the BBC. I made the mistake of watching the dramatisation
Susan Hill has this certain style about her that truly is inimitable, although that hasnt stopped me giving it a go for a recent short story that I wrote. She just spins a great ghost yarn, especially when shes dabbling in historical fiction cum horror.I also appreciated the fact that the protagonist of this book was a rare book dealer on the hunt for a first edition Shakespeare Folio for a client. The hunt took him to France, which made me kind of sad because reasons, but at least it gave me an
This is a short novel, a term I prefer over novellete, novella, novel-ista. Just as I like the term: short story, as it states exactly what is it is, and you needn't go looking for, like, just how many words is that? And do I like reading THAT? IMO I like reading everything, shorts, short-shorts, long, and many thousands of words long...The review: A man is haunted by an old house in the countryside of England. It's creepy; it's derelict; it has old, abandoned, but obviously-once-beautiful
Straight forward ghost tale, cleany told, but I would go for waters' 'little stranger' over this
