A review by livres_de_bloss
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
4.0
A good Spooktober read: atmospheric, spooky, dark and quite sad, this is well worth reading!
The characters were very well done as was the setting. The story pace was perfect. There was some pretty frightening imagery coupled with tamer parts of the story to keep the reader from being terrified to continue reading; I think this was the tack behind introducing Arthur and the doctor’s wife, as they were two horrible characters that really changed the atmosphere from spooky to stupid!
I will read more stories from this author!
