Book Reviews of The Haunting of Hill House (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: "In the night. In the dark."
Summary: 5 Stars

This book scared me the first time I read it over 20 years ago, and it still scares me today. Jackson's prose is wonderful. In the days of films like "Hostel," this novel may not be graphic enough for some, but it has an insidious subtle quality that will creep you out long after you've finished the book. If I could give this more than five stars, I would.
