SIXTY YEARS LATER, HILL HOUSE IS OCCUPIED AGAIN . . .

'A fitting - and frightening - homage to The Haunting of Hill House' NEW YORK TIMES

'Disturbing and unforgettable' GUARDIAN

'It's so vivid, full of totemic menace and with a heart-in-your-mouth, can't-look-away frisson' BRIDGET COLLINS

Whatever walks there, no longer walks alone . . .

Playwright Holly Sherwin is close to her big break. Having received a grant to develop her new play, all she needs is time and space to bring her vision to life. Then on a weekend away, she stumbles upon Hill House - an ornate if crumbling gothic mansion, near-hidden outside a small town.

Soon Holly's troupe of actors - each with ghosts of their own - arrive at Hill House for a creative retreat. But before long they find themselves at odds not just with one another, but with the house itself.

For something has been waiting patiently in Hill House all these years.
Something no longer content to walk alone.

Not bad, they weird sounds in the background are a bit off putting and would definitely say it’s not a scary story but wasn’t terrible if you are looking for something easy to pass the time with.

Not scary, but an okay listen

Was a bit sceptical that this wouldn't hold true to Shirley Jackson's Hill House. However I am impressed with this. The author has captured the darkness wonderfully..

Excellent

Overall I enjoyed this scary story, but felt some of the characters lacked depth and I didn’t particularly care about them. But it didn’t ruin the atmosphere that built up slowly towards a really quite terrifying ending.

Scary story but slightly lacking

I loved the original & thought this was an intriguing idea. The characters weren’t likeable or well-drawn enough for me to really care about them. There are some really lovely scary moments & images but what’s actually going on in the house is a bit disjointed & doesnt really all hang together well - like there’s a lot of different things going on when the action gets going but it all feels a bit messy. The performance was good.

Doesn’t quite deliver but some good scary moments!

I am such a fan, of all the books written by Elizabeth Hand, and this one definitely does not disappoint. First class writing, with excellently developed characters and an atmosphere all of its own! Narration was superb and brought the whole thing together perfectly. Really enjoyed it from start to finish! ❤️

Another superb book by Elizabeth Hand! ❤️
