A professor with an interest in the paranormal rents a supposedly haunted house for the summer. He invites three strangers to come and stay with him in the house. The four of them arrive and begin to explore the house.
And so begins one of the scariest stories I've ever read. The writing just builds the ambiance and the pacing is perfect - the sense of dread just builds and builds. Having only read a few of Jackson's short stories before, I was so impressed with her craftsmanship in The Haunting of Hill House. If you like a good scare, read this book.
