The Haunting of Hill House

by Shirley Jackson

Four seekers arrive at Hill House to investigate its reputation as a place of supernatural activity. Among them is Eleanor Vance, fragile and searching for belonging, who finds herself increasingly drawn into the house's embrace. Widely considered the greatest haunted house novel ever written.

The Shining

by Stephen King

Jack Torrance takes a job as winter caretaker of the isolated Overlook Hotel, bringing his wife and young psychic son along. As the hotel's malevolent supernatural forces close in, Jack's sanity unravels with terrifying consequences. King's breakout horror novel about isolation, addiction, and evil.

House of Leaves

by Mark Z. Danielewski

A young family discovers their house is bigger on the inside than the outside. Told through layers of unreliable narration, footnotes within footnotes, and experimental typography, this genre-defying novel is a labyrinth of horror that physically changes how you read a book.

The Elementals

by Michael McDowell

After a funeral in rural Alabama, the eccentric Savage and McCray families retreat to their Gulf Coast beach houses, where a third house — slowly being consumed by sand — harbors something ancient and malevolent. A Southern Gothic masterpiece of creeping dread rediscovered by a new generation of horror fans.

Hell House

by Richard Matheson

3/5

A dying millionaire hires a team of investigators to determine whether life after death exists by spending a week in the notorious Belasco House — the "Mount Everest of haunted houses." Previous expeditions ended in madness and death, and this one won't go any better. Matheson's answer to The Haunting of Hill House.
