The Haunting of Hill House
Back Cover Text:WARNING! Whatever you do - don't read this book at night
THE BOOK OF THE M.G.M. FILM
There is so much horror in Hill House that nobody dares to live in it. Only a ghost-hunting team would defy the hostile spirits which haunt the house, and the one which gathers together to stay there several weeks consists of four people: Dr. Montague, an investigator of ghostly phenomena, two girls who have previously had a terrifying yet accidental contact with the supernatural, and the young man who is heir to Hill House and is naturally anxious to lay its ghosts.
Their shocking experiences produce a real and ultimate terror not only for the characters in this novel, but also for its readers, and the screaming climax is as horrifying as it is unexpected.
