THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NEW NETFLIX SERIES DEBUTING THIS HALLOWE'EN

The best-known of Shirley Jackson's novels and a major inspiration for writers like Neil Gaiman and Stephen King, The Haunting of Hill House is a chilling story of the power of fear.

Four seekers have arrived at the rambling old pile known as Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of psychic phenomena; Theodora, his lovely assistant; Luke, the future inheritor of the estate; and Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman with a dark past. As they begin to cope with horrifying occurrences beyond their control or understanding, they cannot possibly know what lies ahead. For Hill House is gathering its powers - and soon it will choose one of them to make its own. Twice filmed as The Haunting, and the inspiration for a new 10-part Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House is a powerful work of slow-burning psychological horror.

Review

“As nearly perfect a haunted-house tale as I have ever read ... Stepping into Hill House is like stepping into the mind of a madman; it isn't long before you weird yourself out” (Stephen King)

“Not only the best haunted-house story ever written, but also a quiet subversion of the ingénue trope in horror fiction” (Joanne Harris)

“The quintessential haunted-house story... A masterpiece of edgy tension and creeping terror” (Independent)

“A novel which at one stroke puts her unquestionably among the great masters of the genre… as spine-chilling as anything Edgar Allan Poe dreamed up”(Daily Telegraph)

因“闹鬼”而被弃置了80年的西林山庄，是一处暗藏玄机的神秘老宅。本该在某个角度能够看到的比邻建筑却跑到了另一边，角落里的厨房有多个出入口；当人站在某个位置时，会感到头晕目眩，失去平衡，甚至理智；还有一个区域让人莫名其妙地感到极度寒冷。凡是住进这里的人要不了多久都会借故搬离，且对自己搬离此处的真实原因讳莫如深。

研究灵异现象的蒙太古博士邀请另外三个人住进了这栋房屋，想寻找这里的“鬼魂”。他们经历了一系列诡异事件，后来……

Alone in the world, Eleanor is delighted to take up Dr Montague's invitation to spend a summer in the mysterious Hill House. Joining them are Theodora, an artistic 'sensitive', and Luke, heir to the house. But what begins as a light-hearted experiment is swiftly proven to be a trip into their darkest nightmares, and an investigation that one of their number may not survive. Twice filmed as The Haunting, and the inspiration for a 10-part Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House is a powerful work of slow-burning psychological horror.

Shirley Jackson was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lottery was first published in the New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the most iconic American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. In addition to her dark, brilliant novels, she wrote lightly fictionalized magazine pieces about family life with her four children and her husband, the critic Stanley Edgar Hyman. Shirley Jackson died in 1965.
