The Haunting of Hill House
By Shirley Hackson
⭐️⭐️

Hill House stood abandoned six miles off the road. Four people came to learn its secrets. But, Hill House, stood holding darkness within. Whoever walked there, walked alone.

This has been on my tbr forever and yay I finally got round to it. I was expecting more I found one little part a bit eerie but other than that it was spooky or creepy or scary. I like watching the characters change but it just wasn’t enough! A classic it may be but just didn’t do it for me especially when it’s classed as a classic horror!

Twist after twist in this gripping thriller

There have been a few spoilers out there comparing this book to a certain film which unfortunately ruins the ending for some who make the connection. As a result I was aware of the major plot twist from the beginning. That being said, Sebastian Fitzek's thriller is gripping, as we're unable to separate psychosis from reality. A well known psychiatrist has taken some time off to grieve his missing daughter. Out of no where a mysterious woman named Anna Glass turns up on this remote island getaway. But is she trustworthy?

The ending has a twist on top of the climax which leaves you spiralling. An eerie but good mystery.

Lighthearted, great banter, with recaps of murders that the hosts have researched and retell in their own unique personality. Kindness, crime, foul language and lots of laughs. (0 more)

Everything is great about this one. (0 more)

Hysterical, and a little eerie.

Two true friends with a passion for true crime take an oftentimes hysterical, but also sad and somber look at murder cases over the centuries. It's a great, quick, lightweight fix for folks who enjoyed Dirty John, Wrongful Conviction, and This American Life. It's light on the editing, and high on the community connection. They also poke at things that are creepy and while not all the murders have resolution, there's always something interesting and nothing that'll give you nightmares.
