Wonderfully creepy, but not a compelling audiobook. The recording had gonging creepy music separating the sections which just seemed silly rather than adding to the atmosphere.

Dr. Montague invites two women with past psychic abilities to Hill House which is supposed to be haunted. Also in the house is Luke, the future heir of Hill House. The book started slow but got good as the spooky stuff began to happen. The end of the book is very weird which made this only a 3 star read.
The Haunting of Hill House is a creepy psychological thriller. Dr. Montague invites several people to Hill House. He wants witnesses to take notes on the haunted house. Once the guests arrive, the weirdness begins.
I need thisss.
