The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson



Read November 2018.

Four seekers of evidence of the paranormal arrive to stay at a supposedly haunted mansion. It s certainly a creepy place and things soon start to go bump in the night, but the house demands a sacrifice and not all of them will survive this visit.

The concept of a haunted/evil mansion should be thrilling, but the characters are a bit one-dimensional, and although supernatural stuff happens, the story is quite disjointed.

I know this book is supposed to be a classic in its genre, but I did not find it particularly enjoyable. I have read much scarier books.
