The Haunting of Hill House

The Haunting of Hill House was so subtly creepy and such fun to read. You may remember Shirley Jackson from The Lottery, which you probably read in high school. This is just as good. And you may remember this book from the movie of the same name, starring Liam Neeson and Catherine Zeta-Jones. I haven't seen the movie, but Zeta-Jones seems spot on to play Theodora. I think Miss Jackson (if you're nasty) may be my writing hero.

Favorite quote: People like answering questions about themselves, she thought; what an odd pleasure it is. I would answer anything right now.
