Book Club: The Haunting of Hill House Read
Summary
The Rogue Syndicate announces a book club read of The Haunting of Hill House with a midpoint meeting Jan 28 and tentative finale Feb 18. We will watch a movie at midpoints and the Netflix series after the read, offer an alternate cover art challenge with a $10 prize, list low cost ebook options, and include a trigger warning for members.
The Haunting of Hill House is a classic 1959 gothic horror novel by Shirley Jackson about a group of people investigating a notoriously haunted mansion, Hill House, focusing on psychological terror and the blurring lines between supernatural events and the characters' mental states, particularly that of the fragile protagonist, Eleanor Vance. The story follows Dr. Montague, his assistant Theodora, Eleanor, and Luke (the heir) as they experience increasingly disturbing phenomena, with the house seeming to target Eleanor, exploring themes of loneliness, trauma, and the human psyche.
Themes: The story masterfully blurs the line between supernatural events and psychological breakdown, exploring themes of loneliness, trauma, and the human psyche.
