Printer's Devil Court
Printer's Devil Court | Susan Hill
6 posts | 7 read | 8 to read
Ideally spooky Halloween reading... A chilling ghost story by the author of The Woman in Black. One murky November evening after a satisfying meal in their Fleet Street lodgings, a conversation between four medical students takes a curious turn and Hugh is initiated into a dark secret. In the cellar of their narrow lodgings in Printer's Devil Court and a little used mortuary in a subterranean annex of the hospital, they have begun to interfere with death itself, in shadowy experiments beyond the realms of medical ethics. They call on Hugh to witness an event both extraordinary and terrifying. Years later, Hugh has occasion to return to his student digs and the familiar surroundings resurrect peculiar and unpleasant memories of these unnatural events, the true horror of which only slowly becomes apparent.

#BookMail Pt10 I‘m loving these editions of Susan Hills work, this is only a novella but it‘s gorgeous! It matches the green Woman In Black beautifully. A mysterious manuscript ends up on the step-son of Dr Hugh Merediths desk. It tells a story of what occurred when his step father was a junior doctor, an event that haunted him for the rest of his life.

LeahBergen Oh, I love these ghost stories! This one is included in this volume 5y

A fine read for a Halloween evening. Nice and quick as well as being suitably chilling with lots of nods to 19thC gothic too.
