À propos de cet audio

Now a hit Netflix miniseries directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Timothy Hutton

Past the rusted gates and untrimmed hedges, Hill House broods and waits.

Four seekers have come to the ugly, abandoned old mansion: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of the psychic phenomenon called haunting; Theodora, his lovely and lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a lonely, homeless girl well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the adventurous future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable noises and self-closing doors, but Hill House is gathering its powers and will soon choose one of them to make its own.

This classic horror novel has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror.

An enticingly scary story of madness that keeps you on edge the whole 7 or so hours. It can only be described as a hauntological masterpiece of it's own kind.

Delightfully Horrifying

The book is a psychological thriller more than anything else. It is very subtle. The “haunting” itself is very suspect. It begs the question if it is the house’s influence that’s creating these strange occurrences, or if it’s just all in the mind of Eleanor and she is responsible for some of this.

So we are not very sure about what’s truly happening. The book walks a fine line between the supernatural and the all too natural but taboo subject of mental illness. I greatly enjoyed it.

The Book is Better Than Any Film or Television Adaptation

It's an interesting story, if you can treat it as it's own thing. The Haunting of Hill House was adapted by a master of suspense and horror (in my opinion). The show had so much drama that I sometime forgot that it was a horror story and I loved it. It borrows next to nothing out of the book, it was modernized and added tons of character drama.

The narration was great, really made you feel like a part of the story.

The story was good, each characters were very unique and felt very human. The ending was kind of lackluster so I was expecting a sequel...

Treat it as it's own thing.

The book is not scary but it does have a few tense moments. The story is slow but once you get into it does get much faster and more exciting. The characters are likeable but I feel Luke is pretty under used.

Pretty Good

Terrifying, mysterious.... we are taken inside the mind of a fragile soul who slowly gets ravaged by the evil energy of both a possessed house and the demons that live in her.
Steven King and others have praised it as a masterpiece. You can see the ectoplasmic DNA of this brilliant little book all over works like the Shining....
And the reading brings it to life, or, I should say, to the dark corners haunting all our minds.

Masterpiece
