The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.5

I’m still reeling in the after effects of reading this fabulous book. It was so haunting and beautiful and atmospheric. I was quite literally terrified at times and had chills running down my spine the other. 
This is a story about loneliness and finding a place where you belong, even though it means to loose yourself because of that. 
Hill House though a story about a haunted tale is as much a story about ‘home’ and any house as it is about Hill House. It’s about finding home when you feel like you’ve never had one, and the advantage a house can take of that fact. 
A definite 4.5 star read, this is a timeless classics.
