The Haunting of Hill House

Originally published in 1959, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House has earned its reputation as a masterpiece of psychological terror. The novel follows four seekers drawn to the notoriously unwelcoming Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar determined to gather scientific proof of the supernatural; Theodora, his cheerful and intuitive assistant; Eleanor, a lonely, fragile young woman with past brushes against the paranormal; and Luke, the house’s future heir. What begins as a curious investigation into strange occurrences soon takes a darker turn. Hill House is waiting, watching—and preparing to claim one of them as its own.
