Established British author Susan Hill has just released her latest book 'Howard's end is on the landing'. She had written and published her first novel 'The Enclosure' whilst studying her English degree at Kings College London.
Award-winning titles followed including, 'I'm the King of the Castle', which won the Somerset Maugham Award in 1971, 'The Bird of the Night' which won the Whitbread Novel Award in 1972 and 'Can It Be True?: A Christmas Story' winner of the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize in 1988.
Susan’s novel 'The Woman in Black' published in 1982 became a West End theatre show in 1989 and continues to grace the presence of the stage to this day. After starting out in Scarborough it has played in almost every country in the world. It was also made into a movie in 1989 and a major feature film of it is now in development by Hammer films, and shooting should start in 2010. This story follows a gothic theme as does her book, 'The Mist in the Mirror'.
Susan Hill’s books 'I`m the King of the Castle', 'Strange Meeting' and 'The Woman in Black' have all become an important part of some GCSE, AS and A Level English courses.
