    Okay, though I have read a number of Shirley Jackson’s stories, and LOVED The Lottery, I have not yet read Hill House. The opening paragraph is very powerful. This line, “Hill house, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within…” made me shiver, literally. I think that I must read it very soon.

      I think you will enjoy it immensely. I actually got another friend interested who just started reading it as well. However, this is one of those books I think are better suited to an actual “book” than an e-reader. You literally need to turn the pages. It’s a visceral thing. Thanks for stopping by, reading and commenting.
