The Haunting of Hill House

On this week’s episode of Read, Watch, or DNF, we kick-off spooky month by booking a bed and breakfast stay in a classic story with a classic trope in Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and the 2018 Netflix adaptation of the same name.And we ask the question, did the decision to adapt the story into a family dynamic drive the success of this series, or do people just love haunted houses?Also, can we take a moment to just respect the savagery of Shirley Jackson to write queer characters into her work in the 1950s!
