    Love haunting of hill house! I want to reread it at some point. Horrorstor is one I've wanted to get to for awhile. Eee! Nat Cassidy totally deserves to be on this list. I'm so excited for his next book! The September House is also one of my favorites. I really enjoyed Margaret and what we learned about her and her history throughout the story. I've been thinking about Theme Music recently. After reading it and now that I know what happens, I'm interested in rereading it to see if I notice certain things. Love your picks dearie! I would add Mary to your list and potentially My Darling Dreadful Thing (I'm currently reading this one so I can't say for sure, but it is super eerie).

    This isn't a haunted house book, but I've seen it commented before that We Have Always Lived in the Castle is like a haunted house origin story and I 1000% agree with that. I almost wish a really competent writer would pick up that thread as a sort of fan sequel.

    My absolute fave haunted house book is Burnt Offerings by Robert Marasco. Sooo good, and eerily relatable if you're passionate about caring for an old house like I am. A movie based on it was done in 1976 (Betty Davis's last role before she died), and it was very faithful to the book. Haunted house stories are my favorite genre, I'm always looking for suggestions, so thank you for this video - Kada 👻

    In the summer horror vein, check out Blood Cruise. It’s a unique take on zombie vampires taking over a cruise ship. Some of them are smart while others are mindless, ravenous beasts. It follows a handful of survivors trying to stay alive until dawn. I LOVED IT!

    One of the most unique takes on a haunted house was Smithy by Amanda Desiree. It hits on vintage vibes (set in the 70s), found footage courtesy of journal entries, letters, transcripts, and the feeling of dread and tension was incredible. It's long but it reads fast. Mers over at Harpies in the Trees turned me onto it and she is the only person I've ever heard talk about it. It's high on my list.

    House of Leaves, The Ghost Writer by John Harwood, Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand, The Dead House by Billy O'Callaghan, The Haunting of Leigh Harker, Nazareth Hill by Ramsey Campbell, The Shining, and of course, The Haunting of Hill House are some of my favorites. But I've honestly always found the haunted house story is better served by the short story format. A lot of my favorite short horror stories have centered on haunted houses. The writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries did this especially well.

  • @fancifulimpression
    @fancifulimpression 12 днів тому

    I recently read Diavola and I think it’s a great twist on the classic haunted house story as it’s set in a vacation rental in Italy. I love that it is a discussion of toxic family dynamics with a touch of the supernatural. Similarly to how you spoke about September house I really enjoyed it for reasons other readers didn’t like because it got me thinking about my own life and things that felt relevant.

    • @sabbracadabra7503
      @sabbracadabra7503 13 днів тому

      And there are definitely analogies between The Shining and The Haunting of Hill House. The theme runs through both of a location that may not be "haunted" in the traditional sense, but is nevertheless for some reason a Bad Place, and that badness can be awakened and amplified unconsciously by a psychically sensitive person who takes up residence there.
