Product description
The best-known of Shirley Jackson's novels and a major inspiration for writers like 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
