Beskrivelse
“Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within. . . .”
Four seekers have arrived at the rambling old pile known as Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of psychic phenomena; Theodora, his lovely and lighthearted assistant; Luke, the adventurous future inheritor of the estate; and Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman with a dark past. As they begin to cope with chilling, even horrifying occurrences beyond their control or understanding, they cannot possibly know what lies ahead. For Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
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
