The Haunting of Hill House
The classic supernatural thriller by an author who helped define
the genre...
First published in 1959,
Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work
of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a
notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar
looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his
lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well
acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At
first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with
inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will
choose one of them to make its own.
