The Haunting of Hill House
by Shirley Jackson · first published 1959
Four people spend a summer in Hill House, a mansion with a reputation for being not so much haunted as not quite sane, to study its strange happenings. Shirley Jackson builds dread slowly, through unease, whispered sounds and the fragile mind of Eleanor Vance, rather than shocks. A classic of psychological horror and a perfect October read for readers who like atmosphere over gore.
