Classic HBC: The Haunting of Hill House - Shirley Jackson (Changed to Online))

N.B. due to the planned tube strike, this will now be an online meeting via Zoom.

For this Classic HBC month we're going to be reading a book about a super fun sleepover party! This was a hit with us when we first read it back in May 2015, and when we revisited it to film this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHOtJgxiMh0

Meeting starts at 7pm with drink breaks at 8 and 9. The discussion will end around 10pm but leave whenever you need to.

The blurb from our original MeetUp is below!
The Haunting of Hill House is a tale of alienation, paranormal investigations and unnerving terror i.e. super fun!
Stephen King called it 'the greatest haunted-house story ever written', it's had a important influence over writers like Neil Gaiman and widely is praised as an exemplar of literary horror fiction.
Here's the blurb from the back of the Penguin Modern Classics edition:
"Four seekers have arrived at the rambling old pile known as Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of psychic phenomena; Theodora, his lovely assistant; Luke, the future inheritor of the estate; and Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman with a dark past. As they begin to cope with horrifying occurrences beyond their control or understanding, they cannot possibly know what lies ahead. For Hill House is gathering its powers - and soon it will choose one of them to make its own."
As it's a modern classic it can be found in most book shops, ordered online, bought as e-book, listened to on audible and, of course, borrowed from your local library.
