At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable noises and self-closing doors, but Hill House is gathering its powers and will soon choose one of them to make its own....
"Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders." - Dorothy Parker, Esquire
