A perfect read for cold October nights, The Haunting of Hill House has all the elements making it a true gothic classic. There was something unsettling about the whole affair in the first place. The house felt like a separate entity with its own conscience. Although the stay of investigators was no longer than a week, that week seems to have been packed with so many chilling accidents.
Because you feel that something is off, but can’t tell exactly what’s wrong, this rather short story keeps you hooked until the end. Characters repeating phrases for no reason, Eleanor’s creepy self talk, the accident between Theodora and Eleanor in the bedroom - together this little things create a truly blood chilling effect on the reader, much more than the standard spontaneous noises and slamming doors.
I personally enjoyed the ending - it leaves room for interpretation 👻
