⚠️ TW: mentions of suicide, parental death, mental illness, murder ⚠️ This book is a perfect haunted house read for Halloween and is very much a classic for a reason. The Haunting of Hill House follows the story of a paranormal investigation carried out by Dr Montague and three guests, Eleanor, Theodora and Luke, in an ominous house well known for having a horrifying past and being evil by its local towns folk. But can a house really be evil or is it the people within? This book will have your skin covered in goosebumps and make you question every little noise in your home. I loved every second of this book! It was such a wild ride and I loved how it was told from Eleanor's pov but also portrayed her feelings and thoughts. The only reason I've knocked it down a star is because I didn't like all of the characters, especially Theodora who I found quite condescending and arrogant at times. Overall, I highly recommend reading this classic horror if you want to get the spooks ready for Halloween 🎃
