Lillian’s Reviews > The Haunting Of Hill House > Status Update

I am all for offering up Dr. Montague's wife and Arthur as sacrifices to the house. It is interesting to see the effect the house is having on Eleanor's sanity and her connection with the Theo. It is an interesting look at the complexities of female relationships and how easily envy and cattiness can sour a relationship.

First night in Hill House was uneventful. Shirley Jackson can skillfully build the tension while describing a house; never once becoming dull.
