Haunting Of Hill House

The best-known of Shirley Jackson's novels and a major inspiration for writers like Neil Gaiman and Stephen King as well as the hit Netflix series; The Haunting of Hill House is a chilling story of the power of fear 'Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written' Donna Tartt Alone in the world; Eleanor is delighted to take up Dr Montague's invitation to spend a summer in the mysterious Hill House. Joining them are Theodora; an artistic 'sensitive'; and Luke; heir to the house. But what begins as a light-hearted experiment is swiftly proven to be a trip into their darkest nightmares; and an investigation that one of their number may not survive. Twice filmed as The Haunting; and the inspiration for a 10-part Netflix series; The Haunting of Hill House is a powerful work of slow-burning psychological horror. 'An amazing writer ... If you haven't read her you have missed out on something marvellous' Neil Gaiman 'As nearly perfect a haunted-house tale as I have ever read' Stephen King 'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable' A. M. Homes 'Shirley Jackson is one of those highly idiosyncratic; inimitable writers...whose work exerts an enduring spell' Joyce Carol Oates
