The Haunting of Hill House

The Haunting of Hill House is a classic horror novel, but it hasn't aged well. While it set the standard for haunted house stories, the book's pacing feels slow, and its focus is more on psychological tension than ghostly scares. Modern adaptations, like the movies and show, have tried to expand on its themes but often miss the mark, failing to capture the eerie atmosphere of the house itself. The ghost aspect is underexplored, making the story more of a psychological slog than a spine-chilling horror.
