I started this book because I loved the show, and they have nearly nothing in common despite character names and location. However, I found myself enjoying this book. It’s a psychological horror rather than the blunt supernatural story I was anticipating. Unreliable narrators and unexplainable nights at Hill House made this a fun read, but not one that was shocking until the final few pages.
