Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed the audible audio for this book.
I had seen the film and was looking forward to the book, but they made it even more engaging and tense than I anticipated.

The house on the marshes cut away from the quaint farmers town by the tides is a perfect setting for a ghost story. And while there is no over the top ghostly activity it is all the more chilling for it. Especially once we learn the true consequences of the haunting.

OmG @dabbe I could barely fit this all in 1 pic!! Thank you so much for ALL this - I 🧡 everything!!! The books are *perfect* picks, all the fun masks are going to make me glow!, the candle, coffee, pouch, & socks are perfectly fall & bookish, & the candy is 🤤! Also, the stationary, bookmarks (those corner ones 😍), & stickers are so fun! & that soap scent is my FAVE. Thank you so much for everything!! 🍁🍂🧡🥰

Although this book was published in 1983, Susan Hill wrote it like a true Victorian/Edwardian author would. I checked multiple times because I had trouble believing it was only written 42 years ago. I love the premise of the ghost story, but it took too long to get to the point. Plus, her writing is something to get used to as you‘re reading. The ending was NOT what I expected though. I would still recommend for the overall story.

Finished 17 September 2025

With an unusual premise— 20 years earlier, something strange happened to the 8 houses on Velkwood St— only three 20 year olds survived and the rest seem to have instantly become ghosts & no one can enter the vicinity… except for the three now women. Talitha agrees to return for research… and because the past weighs heavily on her. Part ghost story & part love story, there are some creepy moments but nothing was believable enough to be scary…
