Shelfie with Laura Purcell

Laura Purcell's novel, The Silent Companions, is a gothic ghost story absolutely perfect for the lengthening evenings of this time of year. She came into Waterstones on London's Gower Street to recommend three other books guaranteed to send a chill down your spine, all of which influenced her in some way in writing her own.

I'm reading it now and I cant put it down, it's just the right mix of ghostly goings on.

And how about Woman in Black by Susan Hill? It reminded me of it very well. Especially the ending where you think that it might be a good/happy ending, but it turns very bad very quickly.
