THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE by Shirley Jackson
This is a reread of an old favourite- will have to watch the 1963 movie again. Still a classic with a great sense of eeriness and atmosphere, and depth and subtext and an unreliable POV character – but I'd never noticed before how foot-fetishistic it is... (Seriously, Eleanor is repeatedly studying her own and Theo's feet in some detail...) I'd also forgotten it isn't set in England, but in New England. Anyway, yeah, nice to revisit an old favourite.
