Susan Hill – The Man in the Picture | Review

Title: The Man in the Picture

Author: Susan Hill

Type: Fiction

Page Count: 150

Rating: 3.5/5

I found it pretty difficult to focus on this one while I was reading it, but I don’t think that’s Susan Hill’s fault. I was just going through some stuff in life, and they stopped me from giving it my full attention, at least until about half way through, when I did get a little hooked and started enjoying it.

This is basically a quirky little historical fiction/horror hybrid which has all the hallmarks of a classic Hill tale. It was good but not great, quite a cool little novella, and a little bit of inspiration for me on a project that I’m currently working on. All of that should have spelled a cracking little read, but I suppose it wasn’t really for me. Oh well!

This book is super quirky, and I like quirky books. It’s basically some of Scroobius Pip’s lyrics except each song is illustrated by a different artist. The result is a sort of hybrid graphic novel/poem with a range of different styles, which makes it a great book to dip in and out of or to have as a coffee table book. Maybe not for you if you’re not a Pip fan, but worth thinking about!
