The Little Stranger
by Sarah Waters
Moody, restrained, brilliantly paced, The Little Stranger is a tale of a haunting. Hundreds, a decaying mansion, shelters the last remnants of a grand family. What haunts them to their deaths, one by one, in the shadowy rooms of their decomposing estate? Are family skeletons rattling for attention or is a psychic murderer stalking them to their ends?
Stranger is a can't-put-down, good old-fashioned haunted house story. Waters gives an old formula a new shine.
