The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

The story moves at a fast pace rich in dialog and attention to detail. Interesting eccentric characters, which I found all likable.

A bit of Gothic-psychological-suspense and paranormal undertones, I was hooked from the first page. Overall I really enjoyed The Haunting of Hill house. I highly recommend to all.

“Una mujer pasa el día de su boda buscando frenéticamente a su futuro marido, otra hace un extraño viaje nocturno en autobús, un librero satisface la, en apariencia, inofensiva solicitud de un cliente. Y, en el cuento más celebrado de Shirley Jackson, los pobladores de una aldea se reúnen para oficiar un inquietante ritual. «La lotería», uno de los relatos más turbadores que se hayan escrito nunca y un ícono en la historia de la literatura norteamericana, encendió la polémica cuando se publicó por primera vez, en la revista The New Yorker. Este volumen presenta una selección de los cuentos de Shirley Jackson e incluye tres conferencias de la autora, una de las cuales dedicada, precisamente, al escándalo que supuso la publicación de su texto más conocido.”… (mais)

Such a cute, funny book, I laughed out loud at times, it was simply great. We've got a charming family with lots of books, cats and small children, we can see their everyday joys and problems and it was really delightful to read. Five stars.
