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.

Notă biografică

Shirley Jackson was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lotterywas first published in The New Yorker in 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 House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. In addition to her dark, brilliant novels, she wrote lightly fictionalized magazine pieces about family life with her four children and her husband, the critic Stanley Edgar Hyman. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep in 1965 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.
