365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #230 (for Friday): The Haunting of Hill House

I remember watching the original movie The Haunting on the Turner Classic Movies  channel. It's was very good and it has just the right amount of creepiness that kept me on the edge of my seat.

Reading the book The Haunting of Hill House is something that I really want to do. I want to see if the book is even scarier than the movie and to see what may have been left out. 

Book: The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

Description:

The classic supernatural thriller by an author who helped define the genre

First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
