"The Woman in Black is back, and she is just as terrifying in this sequel as she was in Susan Hill's creepy classic....Brilliantly claustrophobic and utterly chilling, Angel of Death is genuinely jump-out-of-your-seat frightening." * Daily Mail * "Eek, this is the sequel to classic chiller, The Woman in Black. This time, the terrifying spirit is scaring the bejesus out of small kids (and us) in a creepy, creaking house in 1940." * Star Magazine * "An elegant novelisation." -- Peter Bradshaw * Guardian *
