The Haunting of Hill House is a classic of the modern gothic horror genre. In my opinion, it seems to take loose inspiration from the best parts of Dracula and turn them into a chilling, yet entertaining, short story that provides a new experience with every reread.
Graphic: Child death, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide, Car accident, Suicide attempt, and Death of parent
Moderate: Abandonment
Minor: Toxic friendship
