The greatest haunted house story ever written and 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 a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers whoarrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occultscholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting", Theodora, his lightheartedassistant, Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted withpoltergeists, and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seemsdestined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But HillHouse is gathering its powers--and soon it will choose one of them to make itsown.
