Penguin Clothbound Classics: The Haunting of Hill House Shirley Jackson

A beautifully designed clothbound edition of Shirley Jackson's chilling tale of power and fear. Hunting for evidence of the occult, Dr Montague invites three participants to Hill House: Theodora, his lovely assistant; Luke, set to inherit the estate; and Eleanor a fragile young woman with a troubled past. As The House takes hold, Jackson plumbs the depths of the human condition, asking the electric question: will any of them make it out? This definitive horror novel blurs the lines between reality and imagination, between dream and nightmare. Beautiful, atmospheric and utterly terrifying, Jackson's magnum opus examines the shadows that lurk not just in cobwebbed corners, but in the facets of our very minds. 'The Haunting of Hill House rewrote horror's rules.' - Guardian.
