The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson
author [[ Shirley Jackson ]]
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is a classic I had often heard about but never read. Its vivid and unsettling, all told from the perspective of a deeply disturbed, lonely woman. Is it all in her head? Jackson leans into the ambiguity, never giving easy answers.[^2] For all that, it contains intense, arresting images that stay with you and somehow jump scares. Brilliant.
