A review by ergative
The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
3.0
I think this kind of psychological fiction isn't for me. I enjoyed the beginning, but the way that Eleanor and Theo's relationship soured seemed to come out of nowhere and made absolutely no sense to me, and it semed pretty core to Eleanor's subsequent deterioration. Also, the 'doctor' seems to be going about his research into hauntings in a thoroughly bizarre and haphazard way, so although I know that we're being invited to consider his wife an overbearing busybody when she shows up and starts demanding a thoroughly scientific approach to the investigation, all I could think was, "girlfriend's got a point, there.'
