<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>The greatest haunted house story ever written and the inspiration for a 10-part Netflix series directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Timothy Hutton.</b> <p/>First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i> has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who<br>arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult<br>scholar looking for solid evidence of a haunting; Theodora, his lighthearted<br>assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with<br>poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems<br>destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill<br>House is gathering its powers--and soon it will choose one of them to make its<br>own. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> [One of] the only two great novels of the supernatural in the last hundred years." --Stephen King <p/>The scariest book I've ever read. --Carmen Maria Machado, author of <i>Her Body and Other Parties</i> <p/>The books that have profoundly scared me...are few....But Shirley Jackson's <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i> beat them all...It scared me as a teenager and it haunts me still.--Neil Gaiman, author of <i>Norse Mythology</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Shirley Jackson </b>was born in San Francisco on December 14, 1916.
