the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson

Riley Sager knows a thing or two about writing scary stories: his latest New York Times bestseller HOME BEFORE DARK is an inventive and downright terrifying haunted house story that puts a modern spin on classic horror. I can think of no better guest host to join us for this Halloween book discussion than our guest host for this month, the amazing Riley Sager. I am so excited to dive into this book, and I hope you guys will join me in reading it this month! If you’re new to #ReadWithCBTB, first of all, welcome-we are so happy you’re here! If you have any questions, you are always welcome to email me at If you’re a returning #ReadWithCBTB participant, I’m so grateful you’ve chosen to participate again, and I can’t wait to discuss our next book selection with you! It is also the inspiration for the wildly popular Netflix mini-series of the same name-though that series is not directly based on the book (just so you know going into it, this won’t be the exact same story as that mini-series!).

Originally published in 1959, THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE is considered one of (if not the) greatest haunted house stories ever written.

Whether you’re a longtime fan of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE or a newcomer to this classic novel like I am, I hope you’ll join me this month for what’s sure to be a very creepy and spine-tingling reading experience. Here’s a shocking admission: I’ve never read this book, and I’ve always wanted to find the perfect time to read it. It’s the most wonderful time of the year… Halloween season, of course! To celebrate Halloween, #ReadWithCBTB is getting a creepy twist: for our next book pick, we’ll be reading and discussing Shirley Jackson’s classic work of Gothic horror- THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE. #ReadWithCBTB Book Pick: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE by Shirley Jackson Book Discussion: Sunday, October 25 at 12:00 PM EST Guest Host: Riley Sager
