The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson Hardcover Book

Description: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson A beautifully designed clothbound edition of Shirley Jacksons chilling tale of power and fearHunting for evidence of the occult, Dr Montague invites three participants to Hill House- Theodora, his lovely assistant; Luke, set to inherit the estate; and Eleanor, a fragile young woman with a troubled past. As The House takes hold, Jackson plumbs the depths of the human condition, asking the electric question- will any of them make it out? This definitive horror novel blurs the lines between reality and imagination, between dream and nightmare. Beautiful, atmospheric and utterly terrifying, Jacksons magnum opus examines the shadows that lurk not just in cobwebbed corners, but in the facets of our very minds. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography 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 Birds 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. Review The scariest book Ive ever read ...
