   Aug 3, 2020 · The Little Stranger has all the ingredients I love in a haunted house tale. Its “house” is more than “the sum of its ghosts”, meaning, its mystery is innate and not the result of a phantom that goes “boo”. The house, Hundreds Hall, has a personality all its own.

   Is the Little Stranger a good book?

   • This was one of the better books I've read by Sarah Waters ("Fingersmith" still being the best, in my opinion). In "The Little Stranger", we get to follow one doctor and one family living in Hundreds Hall. The whole story is set around these characters as their stories are entwined and their destinies develop in macabre directions.

   What genre is the Little Stranger?

   • The Little Stranger is Waters’ entry into pure genre territory. Specifically, this is an old fashioned ghost story featuring that most reliable of settings: the splendid old haunted house. I love it when talented authors work within genre trappings. And since autumn is approaching, I decided to get a jump on my seasonal reading.

   Is the Little Stranger a true story?

   • “The Little Stranger” is part historical fiction, and part paranormal suspense. The creepy setting of the once-regal Hundreds Hall sets the stage for both a gloomy tale of a desperate family trying to keep afloat, and the possibility of a paranormal event tearing their worlds’ apart.

   What do you think of the Little Stranger?

   • THE LITTLE STRANGER is a slow-burn, atmospheric novel of suspense. I thought it was beautifully written, quite absorbing, and downright creepy at times. It was a story that I looked forward to jumping back into. That said, I also thought it was a bit too long and drawn out, and the ending doesn't wrap up with a tidy bow.

   Review by Doug Kemp. There is a fundamental enigma at the heart of this excellent novel set in England in the austere and grim years after the Second World War: is Hundreds Hall, the elegant but crumbling house belonging to the Ayres family, haunted, or are the weird phenomena merely the perceptions of the rather disturbed inhabitants?

   May 1, 2009 · Flawed but nevertheless often gripping thriller from one of the most interesting novelists at work today. A sinister ancestral home in an advanced state of decay, a family terrorized by its own history, and a narrator drawn into these orbits dominate this creepy novel from Waters ( The Night Watch, 2006, etc.).

   Aug 23, 2020 · Chosen by a book club I belong to, due to the volumes of praise attached to the front and back cover, I anticipated a more compelling story than The Little Stranger turned out to provide.
