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.
