The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

The classic supernatural thriller by an author who helped define the genre!

I've really been enjoying the Netflix adaptation of this horror book, and I've begun to get more and more curious of the differences between the Netflix series and the original novel. I have not seen the original movie from the sixties, either - so this will be a nice treat!

As stated on the Barnes & Noble website, the summary for The Haunting of Hill House is:

"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 who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own."

- Written by a celebrated writer of horror.
- Made into a movie, Netflix adaptation, and more.

I can't wait to give this book a read. I hope it's just as good, if not better, than the Netflix adaption.
