Description
Arthur Kipps, a junior solicitor, is summoned to attend the funeral of Mrs. Alice Drablow, the sole inhabitant of Eel Marsh House, unaware of the tragic secrets hidden behind its 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 a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold. This feeling is deepened by the locals' reluctance to speak of the woman in black—and her terrible purpose.
