Description
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. Acclaimed as one of the finest ghost stories of the twentieth century and filmed twice as The Haunting, this is an unsettling examination of how fear can make us our own worst enemy. 'Stepping into Hill House is like stepping into the mind of a madman' Stephen King

Author Info
  • Shirley Jackson was born in San Francisco in 1916. When her short story 'The Lottery' was 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. The collections Just an Ordinary Day and Let Me Tell You were published posthumously. All are available in Penguin Modern Classics, along with Dark Tales, a volume of her finest and most unsettling short stories. In addition to her dark, brilliant works of fiction, Jackson wrote two humorous memoirs about family life in Vermont with her four children and her husband, the critic Stanley Edgar Hyman. She died in her sleep in 1965 at the age of forty-eight.
