A review by matt_and_cheez
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
3.0
I wasn't sure what to expect of this novel, but I didn't find it exactly thrilling or scary until the very end and twist that happened.
This short novel is almost entirely character-driven and we get a very detailed look in the psyche of the Eleanor, the main protagonist. We are left questioning the nature of the paranormal events.
This novel is known to be the origin of some of the haunted house tropes used in modern horror, and I could definitely see that. If you like a "Clue"-like vibe and subtle psychological horror, then you may like this.
