The Haunting of Hill House

The greatest haunted house story ever written, the inspiration for a 10-part Netflix series directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Timothy Hutton

First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as an ideal work of unnerving terror. it's the story of 4 seekers who reach a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar trying to find solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile girl well familiar with poltergeists; and Luke, the longer term heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill home is gathering its powers—and soon it'll choose one among them to form its own.
