THE INSPIRATION FOR THE NEW NETFLIX SERIES DEBUTING THIS
HALLOWE'ENThe 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.
'Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever
written' Donna Tartt, author of The Goldfinch and The Secret
HistoryFour 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.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 five more: 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.Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of
48. If you enjoyed The Haunting of Hill House, you might like
Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle, also available in
Penguin Modern Classics. 'An amazing writer ...If you haven't read
her you have missed out on something marvellous' Neil Gaiman 'As
nearly perfect a haunted-house tale as I have ever read' Stephen
King'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable' A. M.
Homes 'Shirley Jackson is one of those highly idiosyncratic,
inimitable writers...whose work exerts an enduring spell' Joyce
Carol Oates
