Omtale fra forlaget
The greatest haunted house story ever written, the inspiration for a 10-part Netflix series directed by Mike Flanagan and starring Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, and Timothy Hutton
First published in 1959, Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House has been hailed as a perfect work of unnerving terror. It is the story of four seekers who
arrive at a notoriously unfriendly pile called Hill House: Dr. Montague, an occult
scholar looking for solid evidence of a "haunting"; Theodora, his lighthearted
assistant; Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman well acquainted with
poltergeists; and Luke, the future heir of Hill House. At first, their stay seems
destined to be merely a spooky encounter with inexplicable phenomena. But Hill
House is gathering its powers--and soon it will choose one of them to make its
own.

The only other people in the dining room were a family party, a mother and father with a small boy and girl, and they talked to one another softly and gently, and once the little girl turned and regarded Elanor with frank curiosity and, after a minute, smiled. The lights from the stream below touched the ceiling and the polished tables and glanced along the little girl's curls, and the little girl's mother said, "She wants her cup of stars."
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

Se alle bokelskere som følger dette verketJeg har funnet ut at jeg liker litt sånn "creepy" bøker, i den gotiske sjangeren.
Har ikke tenkt så mye på det før, men etter å ha lest "Stormfulle høgder" kom jeg til å tenke på om der er bøker i samme sjanger som jeg kunne lese. Jeg kom da på at jeg jeg var svært begeistret for Frobenius sin "Latours katalog" og de fire bøkene av Carlos Ruiz Zafon som begynner med "Vindens skygge". Dette er mine favoritter. Og nå kan jeg plusse på Stormfulle høgder. Jeg vil nå prøve å samle flere bøker på en liste, så jeg kan kose meg med sjangeren :)
