A story about Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor who is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs Alice Drablow, the sole inhabitant of Eel Marsh House, unaware of the tragic secrets which lie hidden behind the shuttered windows. The house 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 the creeping sense of unease begins to take fold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to speak of the woman in black - and her terrible purpose.

Pretty creepy!
