About the book

The greatest haunted house story ever written—the inspiration for the hit Netflix horror series!

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.

Gruselig und düster ,perfekt für den Herbst ! 🍂
Das Buch hat so eine düstere und mysteriöse Stimmung gar nicht mal so sehr Horror. 4 Personen kommen ins Horror-Haus Hill House um die paranormalen Vorgänge zu untersuchen. Ich finde es absolut beeindruckend wie Shirley Jackson es schafft eine so düstere und vielschichtige Atmosphäre zu kreieren. Die Charaktere selbst sind genauso geheimnisvoll wie das Hill House. Absolut eine Empfehlung!

Gruselig
Jackson ist Meisterin des domestischen Horrors. Liebe ihre Prosa und die gothischen Szenerien. Kapitel 1 "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone."
