the haunting of hill house holds a special place in my heart. the first scene with the knocks will have you holding your breath. while there are some things that i wish the tv show would have included, i think the tv show did a good job of expanding on an already great idea.

 “nothing of the least importance has ever belonged to me, can you help?”

Considered one of the best gothic novels for a reason. Shirley Jackson is fucking amazing.
