"As he crossed the entry hall, he had the feeling that the house was swallowing him alive."Hell House is basically The Haunting of Hill House on steroids. Both books centre around four characters who stay in a haunted house to try to investigate what is happening. We have Doctor Barrett, whos intention is to prove his theory - he also brings his wife along cos she just cant bear to be left alone... And then we have two mediums - one of which is Fischer, the only survivor of a failed

Sorry, I know this is a classic haunted house novel. But, it was terrible. It was offensive, lurid. I read horror novels frequently as a young adult. I still read King, Koontz, John Saul and sometimes Bentley Little. But, this was just disgusting. Then after putting me through all that crap, the ending was incredibly anti- climatic. I only picked this one out because I was in the mood for a good haunted house or ghost story to read during the month of October for Halloween. I really wish I

For years I have been a fan of Richard Matheson, without ever becoming a dedicated reader of his fiction. I learned early that he was one of the two best writers (not counting Rod Serling) for Twilight Zonethe other being Charles Beaumontand this led me to look out for his short stories and novels and read them when they came my way. I particularly admired his chilling stories Nightmare at 20,000 ft. (Twilight Zone Shatner menaced by gremlin on plane), Prey (featuring a doll called He Who Kills



Bought during Audible's $2.99 sale (10/13/17)! . It's more now, sorry about that.A rich guy offers to pay a group of people to stay a few nights in a haunted house to prove there is life after death. All previous attempts to do such a stupid thing at this particular house have ended very badly for the suckers brave or stupid or hard-up enough to have a sleep-over. Its no different this time around.I read this book closely on the heels of finishing up Shirley Jacksons The Haunting of Hill House

Whoa, creepy, scary book. This must be required reading for Wes Craven and Clive Barker and other horror movie directors. Published 6 years before The Shining, I also wonder how much this influenced Stephen King. Alas, I did not care for the ending.Well written, imaginative, and innovative, Matheson again displays his power as a storyteller in this genre.

I'm a sucker for a haunted-house book, always optimistic that I'll be in for something as good as The Shining or The Haunting of Hill House. I'm a damn fool, because most books don't come close. This one has me ready to give up on the genre; it was that bad.Matheson seems to have lifted most of his stuff straight from Shirley Jackson's novel: a parapsychologist and two sensitives agree to stay in a notorious haunted house in an effort to prove or disprove survival after death. Alas, he lacks
