The Haunting of Hill House is by Shirley Jackson. The classic fantasy/horror tale is soo much better than the silly television adaptation. The book is marvelously creepy and psychologically disturbing. Turn off the T.V. and read the book! An occult scholar rents the quintessential haunted house and invites three people to join him there to study the paranormal events reported by previous tenants. Eleanor, one of those invited, is a lonely, friendless young woman with a troubled past. At first it's all in good fun, but then Hill House decides to show its power. A magnificent story.
Ratings: 10th grade - 9 out of 10 - AC (some mature thematic content).
