A review by marywjensen
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Haunting and gothic. Was easier to read (well, listen to in this case) than I expected for a classic. We are almost entirely in Eleanor's head, and seeing her progression and emotions through the story gave a very immersive experience. The writing on the wall gave me chills.
