Rhiannon
A classic - deserving of its place in the psychological horror pantheon. This is a subtle haunting; subdued and quiet except for those rare moments when it's not.
It's a quick read but don't expect to have your hair blown back by action or obvious twenty-first century jump scares. It's all about the atmosphere and setting and the psychological state of mind of the characters, particularly Eleanor, a tragic figure who can be viewed as either the cause or the mirror of the strange events in the house.
