On several occasions, the writer has declared her intention to pay tribute to classics of the genre that were, for the most part, published during the Victorian era. In the wake of her most popular novel, “ The Woman in Black”, which became a literary, theatrical and cinematographic phenomenon, in a more recent stage of creativity, Susan Hill has published a series of novels and an anthology of short stories that fall within the Gothic genre and, in particular, within the genre of ghost stories. After having suffered different traumatic personal experiences, which deeply marked her, as the death of her fiancé, David Lepine, due to a serious illness and the death of her second daughter, Imogen, a few days after birth, Susan Hill published her novel “ The Woman in Black” (1983) when she was 40 years old a work that represented a turning point in her career as a writer. Susan Hill has so far written some sixty works covering different genres such as the novel, the short story, non-fiction, as well as autobiographical works.
