Description
The Haunting of Hill House is a suspenseful, scary book written by an author who helped define the horror genre. First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson is best known for her book The Haunting of Hill House, a complete work in the horror genre. The book is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly hill called Hill House. Hill House is a mansion whose location is never specified and is nestled among a series of hills. The story revolves around four main characters. Dr. Montag hopes to find scientific evidence of the existence of the supernatural. He rents Hill House for a summer and invites a few people he has chosen for their experiences with paranormal events as his guests. Of these, only Eleanor and Theodora accept. They travel to the house, where Eleanor and Theodora live in seclusion with Montag and Luke. Dr. Montag is a paranormal scientist searching for hard evidence and a compelling story. His close assistant, Theodora, is a lonely and fragile young woman familiar with ghostly events; and Luke, the future heir to Hill House. At first, it seems that they have only a ghostly encounter with unexplained phenomena at their destination, but Hill House gathers its powers and soon chooses one of them as its prey.
