I review books and share the bookish love. You may also see me talking about books on Twitter (X), Instagram and Threads (@brownflopsy).
I always give honest reviews of the books I have enjoyed, and the views expressed here are completely my own.

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.
