Fiction. Horror. HTML:

The Haunting Four seekers have come to the ugly, abandoned old mansion: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of the psychic phenomenon called haunting; Theodara, his lovely and lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, the lonely, homeless girl well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the adventurous future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable noises and self-closing doors, but Hill House is gathering its powers and will soon choose one of them to make its own.

    The Turn of the Screw de Henry James (Nickelini)
    Nickelini: Both have an unreliable narrator, which results in an ambiguous story.

    White is for Witching de Helen Oyeyemi (upstairsgirl, sturlington)
    upstairsgirl: Similar in premise, less subtle but more disturbing in execution.
    sturlington: Hill House clearly inspired White Is for Witching.

    The Woman in Black de Susan Hill (Copperskye, Jannes)
    Jannes: Not sure if it is a coincidence, but the two perhaps best ghost stories ever written are both by women, in a genre otherwise mostly dominated by men. Both are superb explorations of death, loss, fear, and all those other elementsthat make up the good supernatural tales.… (més)

    Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories de Roald Dahl (SomeGuyInVirginia)

It seems like it was written by a high schooler. There are the most random comments made by characters that seem out of place with the narrative. Their motivations and personalities change frequently and characters do not react as expected. If the reactions seemed more realistic, that would make sense (people can be realistically contrary), but they are very typical architypes at first and then say, do, or think something that throws you off. It was hard to connect with the main character, Eleanor. All the characters seemed childish at points rather than grown adults. It bounces between points of views in a odd way. Was it supposed to be in 3rd or 1st person? Disappointed. ( )

Not much I can add to the other reviews. If you want an example of very fine writing, you'll find it here. The story will haunt you for years to come. ( )

I thought I had read this before but I don't think so. Shirley Jackson's classic haunted house novel is a slow burn. A group of strangers gather at Hill House to document ghostly activity. The Doctor is the one who is writing a book. Eleanor is the main character. A lonely, isolated woman with no friends. There are quiet signs of ghostly activity and then it becomes more violent and aimed at Eleanor. I wish I had liked this more but I only found it ok. There are definitely layers here to be found if you're looking for them otherwise they can be overlooked. I found this a quiet book with a bang at the end. It has an ominous, heavy atmosphere. I did really enjoy the characters even the ones I didn't like. I'm glad I read it but I prefer "We Have Always Lived in the Castle". ( )

An extremely chilling, unique, and unsettling horror novel; that remains relevant even to this day. I've read other books by Shirley Jackson, but this might be my favorite. It's simple yet so very deep and nuanced and everything ties in together; weaving a tapestry of evil and doubt. Three strangers are united by a scholar of the occult promising a summer of free lodging, modest pay, and amiable company. The four find themselves taking up residence in Hill House, a massive manor that has spent decades empty and has dozens of rumors surrounding it. Everyone is unsettled by the house which gives off an air of darkness and chill, but they band together to see if anything is truly off about the house. Dr. Montague is the primary note taker and scholar, Theodora is a beautiful and engaging participant, Luke is the future inheritor of the estate, and Eleanor is poor, friendless and determined to make the best of the situation. Small horrors begin to creep in and by the time they think to do something it's too late. A great horror novel! ( )

I was expecting this to be a good deal *scarier* and, I dunno, horrific? than it was. And the fact that it wasn't isn't a criticism. There's a creeping sense that things at Hill House are perhaps even more sinister than its visitor-investigators think it is, and it all comes to a slightly oblique, tantilizingly ambiguous ending that is still satisfying and terror-tinged. I also greatly enjoyed the sentence-level writing here, as well as the humor Jackson infused her characters with (the sort LW3 and I call "our sort"). ( )

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more.

Journeys end in lovers meeting.
She could not remember ever being truly happy in her adult life; her years with her mother had been built up devotedly around small guilts and small reproaches, constant weariness, and unending despair. Without ever wanting to become reserved and shy, she had spent so long alone, with no one to love, that it was difficult for her to talk, even casually, to another person without self-consciousness and an awkward inability to find words. (chapter 1)
The house was vile. She shivered and thought, the words coming freely into her mind, Hill House is vile, it is diseased; get away from here at once. (chapter 1)
When they were silent for a moment the quiet weight of the house pressed down from all around them.
We have grown to trust blindly in our senses of balance and reason and I can see where the mind might fight wildly to preserve its own familiar stable patterns against all evidence that it was leaning sideways. (Dr. Montague, chapter 4)
