The Haunting of Hill House

“Nobody is doing it like Shirley. Genuinely haunting, but also one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. Nell is a truly fascinating character, and I love how the book explores the danger of a (very human) tendency to narrativize. It sits right at the boundary between a haunted house book and a work of psychological horror, and the intersection of those two forces is truly terrifying. What’s scarier than losing yourself?”

“This is absolutely one of my top three favorite books. You don't need to be a horror fan to enjoy the writing and the psychological complexity of the protagonist's journey. The audiobook is also wonderful!”
