The Haunting (The Haunting of Hill House)
Back Cover Text:Past the rusted gates and untrimmed hedges, Hill House broods and waits...
Four seekers have come to the ugly, abandoned old mansion: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar, looking for solid evidence of the psychic phenomenon called haunting; Theodora, his lovely and lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a lonely homeless girl well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the adventurous future heir of Hill House. 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.
"Makes your blood chill and your scalp prickle . . . Shirley Jackson is the master of the haunted tale." - The New York Times Book Review
