Reviews
"[One of] the only two great novels of the supernatural in the last hundred years." --Stephen King "The scariest book I've ever read." --Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties "The books that have profoundly scared me...are few....But Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House beat them all...It scared me as a teenager and it haunts me still."--Neil Gaiman, author of Norse Mythology, Praise for Penguin Horror Classics: "The new Penguin Horror editions, selected by Guillermo del Toro, feature some of the best art-direction (by Paul Buckley) I've seen in a cover in quite some time." Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing "Each cover does a pretty spectacular job of evoking the mood of the title in bold, screenprint-style iconography." Dan Solomon, Fast Company

Synopsis
A deluxe edition of the greatest haunted house story ever written--the inspiration for the hit Netflix horror series! One of The Atlantic 's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years 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, his 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. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators., The greatest haunted house story ever written, the inspiration for a 10-part Netflix series directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Timothy Hutton First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror.

    It's lovely, just as described and photographed! Basically, mint condition and I couldn't be happier to have purchased from roundaboutbooks. Great price, shipped and arrived quickly, and was packaged just perfectly for its journey to my home. Thanks so much, A++ eBay community member!

  • Classic ghost story

    Classic ghost story; If you liked the movie by the same name (the Haunting of Hill House), you'll love the book. The twist is, its not ghosts who inhabit the house, its the house that is the ghost..
