Summary
Now a hit Netflix miniseries directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Timothy Hutton
Past the rusted gates and untrimmed hedges, Hill House broods and waits.
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; Theodora, his lovely and lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a 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.
This classic horror novel has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror.

Brilliant
Psychological thriller or creepy ghost story? Both, probably. So deliciously well written and performed, I could consume this story the way Hill House consumes its occupants

Take a tour of Hill House, and experience the chilling, bizarre events it encloses!
Eleanor’s invitation to Hill House by Dr.Montague is one she most likely wouldn’t have accepted, had she been aware of its looming consequences, but longing for new adventure, and “borrowing” her sister’s car, she finds her way there. At the house, despite a gloomy welcome, she eventually starts to feel safe, and quickly makes new friends in the other guests. But all is not what it seems, and soon she is entwined in a web of otherworldly encounters. Despite looking terror in the eye, Eleanor seems eventually to overcome her fears inside Hill House…or does she?
I enjoyed how the story went from a classic ghost story to a deeper, darker, and more surreal twist of events. The narration to me seemed a little contrived in parts, but otherwise I thought it flowed well.
Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel is a perfect listen for a perfect, moody night, and will make you stay awake if you need to!

Subtly chilling, an incredible work
The Haunting of Hill House is not for those wanting gore or outright blood curling horror, but is for those wanting an incredible story told through chilling descriptions and the type of subtle character development that only Shirley Jackson can provide. A true masterpiece of the genre that will resonate with readers long after the last page.

A worthy classic
Honestly, I listened to this audiobook because I watched the Netflix series and the is the first horror book I have listened to. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, This is a very slow-build horror and will leave you on edge the whole way though. I will be definitely rereading!

Not Haunting!!
So i thought this was going to have me jumping out of my skin from time to time. There has nothing and no creepy bits in it at all. Very Disappointed. And i didn't really get the characters and why they were there and the study in which they were carrying out. I was left a little confused at the end!!

The definitive haunted house chiller
A classic indeed. An atmospheric, unsettling psychological drama in a claustrophobic setting. Wonderful writing and characterisations. I loved Bernadette Dunne’s narration of the Mad Adam trilogy. She is superb and the perfect choice for this book.

Absolutely brilliant!
Screen adaptations don't even come close to doing justice to this masterpiece of terror. Shirley Jackson's surrealist style is mesmerising and captures the imagination in a way that very few authors have managed. A fascinating tale where no mysteries are resolved but the chill down your spine is guaranteed.
