Published in 1959, The Haunting of Hill House established Shirley Jackson as one of the defining voices in horror. Four people, led by parapsychologist Dr Montague, spend a summer in the architecturally disturbing Hill House, where reality and fear become indistinguishable. Jackson's subtle, terrifying masterpiece is the greatest haunted-house novel ever written and a profound study in psychological horror. Themes of haunted house, fear, identity run through the work. The book has received recognition from Bram Stoker Award 1959.
