Best Answer

Susan Hill uses many different methods to create tension and fear throughout the novel. key techniques include onomatopoeia and figurative language which help the reader create a strong mental image of the situation in there head of what is happening and where it is. The title of the book "The Woman in Black" suggests a woman in mourning also black suggests darkness and mystery which can help build fear. Foreshadowing is used to suggest at what is to come as in the event in which Stella and their son is killed by the Woman in Black. these are just a few you could talk about locations and settings being typical of a ghost story or mr jeromes violent reaction to Kipps seeing the woman in black as foreboding but they're all quite obvious.
