'Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written' Donna Tartt, author ofThe GoldfinchandThe Secret History
Four seekers have arrived at the rambling old pile known as Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of psychic phenomena; Theodora, his lovely assistant; Luke, the future inheritor of the estate; and Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman with a dark past. As they begin to cope with horrifying occurrences beyond their control or understanding, they cannot possibly know what lies ahead. For Hill House is gathering its powers - and soon it will choose one of them to make its own. Adapted into a film,The Haunting, starring Liam Neeson, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Owen Wilson,The Haunting of Hill Houseis a powerful work of slow-burning psychological horror.
Shirley Jackson's was born in California in 1916. When her short storyThe Lotterywas first published in theNew Yorkerin 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the most iconic American stories of all time. Her first novel,The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more:Hangsaman,The Bird's Nest,The Sundial,The Haunting of Hill HouseandWe Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48.

Recenzii

She is the finest master...of the cryptic, haunted tale
An amazing writer ... If you haven't readWe Have Always Lived in the CastleorThe Haunting of Hill Houseor any of her short stories you have missed out on something marvellous
The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... She is a true master
One of the twentieth century's most luminous and strange American writers
Her books penetrate keenly to the terrible truths which sometimes hide behind comfortable fictions, to the treachery beneath cheery neighborhood faces and the plain manners of country folk
A novel which at one stroke puts her unquestionably among the great masters of the genre . . . as spine-chilling . . . as anything Edgar Allan Poe dreamed up.
