Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
The chilling sequel to the international bestselling novel The Woman in Black
It’s Autumn of 1940, and German bombs are destroying the cities of Britain as WWII takes its toll on Europe. In London, children are being removed from their families and taken to the country for safety. Teacher Eve Parkins is in charge of one such group, and her destination is an empty and desolate house that appears to be sinking into the tidal marshes that surround it.
Its name is Eel Marsh House.
Far from home and with no alternative, Eve and the children move in. But it soon becomes apparent that there is someone else in the house; someone who is far deadlier than anything that would face the children in the city. She’s called “The Woman in Black,” and she won’t rest until she has her revenge …

“More of a 2.5 star than a 3. I found it to be more enjoyable than the first book. I just hate that it had that trope of romantic gestures happening during the time when the freaking ghost was on them.”

“It was okay. As a movie, this is a cheesy B movie that some people can turn their brain off to and enjoy it for what it is. As a book, it is harder to get into. You don't have the visuals to help the story along. I listen to part of the audio while reading the physical book and sorry to say that the narrator's voice for the characters (especially Eve) are not great. Eve sounds like a dainty whispery child, poor helpless Eve.
It pretty much stays true to the movie from what I remember at least.”
