About the book

A beautifully designed clothbound edition of Shirley Jackson's chilling tale of power and fear

Hunting for evidence of the occult, Dr Montague invites three participants to Hill House: Theodora, his lovely assistant; Luke, set to inherit the estate; and Eleanor a fragile young woman with a troubled past. As The House takes hold, Jackson plumbs the depths of the human condition, asking the electric question: will any of them make it out? This definitive horror novel blurs the lines between reality and imagination, between dream and nightmare. Beautiful, atmospheric and utterly terrifying, Jackson's magnum opus examines the shadows that lurk not just in cobwebbed corners, but in the facets of our very minds.

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."
