The Haunting of Hill House

4:

I read this one right after finishing We Have Always Lived in the Castle, both because I LOVED that book and needed more, and because duh, Halloween was right around the corner.

Quite enjoyed this! There's a scene with persistent knocking that spooked me pretty badly, I didn't find it traditionally frightening otherwise, but the atmosphere was all eerie and mysterious and sad.

The story was great, I enjoyed the ambiguity and still find myself pondering what might have actually gone down during those days in Hill House. Amazing how such a tiny book can tell so much.
