![]() ![]() ![]() But I really wanted more creepy haunted house stuff, and ghosts. In fact, taking my new interpretation of the story into account*, it was a perfectly logical and fitting ending. I appreciated the ending more this time around than I did the first. Instead, I got several characters who became increasingly difficult to tolerate, and that ending. It had some great creepy moments, and I just wanted more. Although I enjoyed that aspect and ended up with a new favorite interpretation of what happened, I was still frustrated with the way The Haunting of Hill House promised more of a ghost story than it actually delivered. This time around, I knew what was going to happen and could therefore approach the story's events in a different way. This is definitely one of those books that invites rereading. ![]() From the look of things, both Audible and Kobo only have the version of this book narrated by Bernadette Dunn, which might potentially have worked better for me for that reason. I'll be brief, since I only just read and reviewed a paper copy of this back in June.ĭavid Warner's narration was good, although I occasionally wished that a female narrator had been chosen instead, since he didn't always fit Eleanor and Theodora very well. My note at the end could be considered a spoiler. I checked this out via my public library's Overdrive. The Haunting of Hill House is gothic horror. ![]()
