The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson Book Summary

It is the story of four seekers who arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, the lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill House is gathering its powers—and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.

Masterful. I have just discovered Shirley Jackson through We have always lived in the Castle, although I had read The Lottery for eng lit. She is a superb writer, her characters are so well fleshed out and her humour is evident in every page. This novel, though not as good as castle is again, masterful. I can only selfishly bemoan the fact that she died at 48.

Classic haunted house story. 3.5 stars Author American. 1917-1965. Best known for the dystopian short story, The Lottery (1948), which shows a deeply unsettling underside to bucolic, small town America. Popular in her era, Ms J has become something of darling of the literary critics in recent years. Stephen King lists her as a major influence. Plot Dr Montague, a scholar of the occult, invites three others to join him at the titular house, which has a reputation for being haunted. The premise is a pseudo-scientific experiment as outlined in the first chapter. The three are Theodora, his assistant; Eleanor, a friendless young woman supposedly well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir to Hill House. The other major character is the house itself. No one, including the house, is described in detail, just by inference. The characters’ interactions are quirky, almost whimsical, as Theodora and Eleanor build a relationship. Prose Ms J crafts an underlying sense of unease and disquiet right from the start, which she builds gradually. It’s not so much a matter of the weird stuff that happens, as the weird stuff you sense is about to happen. The comedic elements stand in stark contrast yet serve to heighten tension. (I’m not sure how the author managed that.) Characters Weird. Not Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street weird, just off centre. Bottom line Classic haunted house story. If you’re into horror novels, this is near the top of the heap. If like me you’re not, you can admire the author’s craft. (As in, writing, not witch.)

Nothing happens in this book. Not scary at all. And nothing at all but dialogue that’s difficult to follow.
