ReviewsPraise for Penguin Horror Classics: "The new Penguin Horror editions, selected by Guillermo del Toro, feature some of the best art-direction (by Paul Buckley) I've seen in a cover in quite some time." Cory Doctorow, Boing Boing "Each cover does a pretty spectacular job of evoking the mood of the title in bold, screenprint-style iconography." Dan Solomon, Fast Company

SynopsisThe classic supernatural thriller by an author who helped define the genre First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. 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, his 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. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Excellent Creepy Movie
This is a great psychological spooky movie! The viewer never sees the source of the hauntings but experiences them along with the subjects doing research in Hill House. The imagination does the rest to unnerve the viewer. Perhaps the creepiest of the people in this movie is Mrs. Dudley who staunchly reinforces the fact that she does not stay at Hill House after dark or "in the dark" when the town people are six miles away and wouldn't come to help you regardless should "something" happen. This movie was filmed in 1963 and is in black and white which adds to the creepiness of the film as the contrast of light and darkness emphasize the evil of Hill House. The movie is based on Shirley Jackson's THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE which is a good read too.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE
Simply put, its the best haunted house story ever, not because it's over-the-top but because of the masterful writing by Shirley Jackson who can inspire the imagination through fewer but far more effective words.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
