Narrative Toward Books The Haunting of Hill House

First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, the lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.

Judgment Regarding Books The Haunting of Hill House

I got this from the library and I can't figure out what to rate it so I had to go with a 3 for right now. Here's the thing. I loved the movies better than the book. But I did enjoy the crazy, through the rabbit hole ness of the book. It's not scary in the least. Not to me anyway. But it's good weird and just uggg I can't explain it. Anyway, sorry so short. I don't feel that good. I wanted to do a longer review on this one. 😕Mel ❤

I finished my audio re-read today. My opinion and review below still stands. If it's possible, I loved it even more this time around. A super scary book with sentences that you want to stop and marvel over. This is an excellent haunted house story with a psychological aspect.HIGHLY recommended! Quote: I am like a small creature swallowed whole by a monster, she thought, and the monster feels my tiny little movements inside. And what I think is the best opening paragraph in all of literature: "No

My mom has always said that an involuntary shuddera shiver going up your spine, if you willindicates someone having just walked over your grave. That cold spot you pass through when walking from the living room into the foyer? Thats not a draft of unheated air coming from upstairs (cold air sinks, youll recall)no, thats a ghost. And the message written in blood on your bathroom mirror this morning? Well, er, lets just ignore that for the time being. But really, what is our obsession with the

October Buddy Read with the Pantsless OnesWhen an occult scholar recruits people to help him research the paranormal events at Hill House, will the house let any of them leave unscathed?I've heard this touted as a classic haunted house story for decades and finally decided to take the plunge when the Pantless Ones picked it for an October read. I was not overly impressed.I don't know if this was the case of wrong book/wrong time but I was not engaged by this book. All of the characters seemed

My full review, as well as my other thoughts on reading, can be found on my blog. The Haunting of Hill House starts off as a straightforward story about a doctor and his eclectic guests moving into a haunted house for the summer, in order to record its weird happenings, but the novel swiftly transforms into an unsettling study of the links between repression, isolation, and fear. An unexpected and unreciprocated romance sparks the change. Each of the nine chapters consists of a series of

Upping my rating from 3.5 stars to 4.5 on reread. Its so strange, how much better this classic 1959 haunted house tale worked for me on rereading, knowing what to expect from it. It's creepy in a subdued, elusive sort of way--not the sort of explicit horror that we're more used to nowadays. But the second time through, I could really appreciate all the hints and subtleties and just the sheer artistry in Shirley Jones writing.Dr. John Montague, whose true vocation is researching and analyzing

"Nothing in this house moves, until you look away, and then you just catch something from the corner of your eye." A lurid phantasmagoria of terror obscuring the facets of reality and the metaphysical. Discombobulation is an understatement even for the most astute of readers whereby mental aberration fuses with psychic disturbances to create a timely classic that uncovers the frailties of the human psyche. Come along, dear visitor, relinquish, abdicate, give yourself willingly to the house's
