The Haunting of Hill House

I could not believe how good this book is. The characters are beautifully written out and the interactions between them feel real. The start of the book was interesting in that it was about a scientist trying to study the paranormal. From there we learn more about the other characters brought to the house to learn about the house itself.

The character-building is what makes this book so great. Each are real with their own motivations. Dialog didn’t feel forced, and characters were driven seemingly by themselves. The slow change from scientific to paranormal was breathtakingly well done. This slow change felt natural and horrifying.

This was such a great read that I only wish I read it sooner.
