<b>Genuinely sinister and beautifully written,</b> with a real sense of depth to the folklore and theatrical inspiration.

- ROSIE ANDREWS, author of THE LEVIATHAN,

<b>Eerily beautiful, strangely seductive,</b> and genuinely upsetting: <b>welcome back to Hill House.</b> I recommend reading only in strong daylight, and never alone.

- ALIX E. HARROW, author of THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY,

Hill House<i> </i>is back and haunting as ever in this<b> vividly imagined</b> return to Shirley Jackson's iconic setting. Elizabeth Hand weaves<b> eerie beauty into the genuine terror lurking in her pages,</b> crafting<b> some of the most striking scares I've read in years</b>. This book gave me the best kind of nightmares.

- ANA REYES, author of THE HOUSE IN THE PINES,

I absolutely loved <i>A Haunting on the Hill</i>, which<b> snared me with its terrifying opening and relinquished me only on the very last page</b>. Huge boots to fill, but Elizabeth Hand rose to the challenge with her darkly complex characters and a novel <b>dripping in atmosphere and intrigue</b>.

- JOANNE BURN, author of THE HEMLOCK CURE,

<i>A Haunting on the Hill</i> is <b>as unnerving and disorienting as Hill House itself,</b> a place where evil lurks behind every door.<b> I was completely gripped by this terrifying and original </b><b>tale</b>.

- LAURA SHEPPERSON, author of THE HEROINES,

<b>A novel with all the chills of Jackson that also highlights the contemporary flavor and evocative writing of Hand.</b> The story stays true to Jackson's vision of "Hill House" while becoming a thing of its own<b>. Indeed,<i> A Haunting on the Hill </i>is strange and wonderful, a frightening foray into the supernatural that will inspire you to go back and reread the original.</b>

WASHINGTON POST

The lines of paranoia, art, and reality are terrifyingly blurred for our group of hungry and damaged actors cloistered within the mouldering walls of Hill House.<b> Only the brilliant Elizabeth Hand could so expertly honor Jackson's rage, wit, and vision with a 21st century twist. The old place is as creepy, disorienting, and menacing as ever.</b>

- PAUL TREMBLAY, author of THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD,

<b>Evocative and unsettling,</b> <i>A Haunting on the Hill </i>captures the essence of the original whilst offering something brand new.

- CARLY REAGON, author of THE TOLL HOUSE,

There are - fittingly - echoes of the original which will satisfy fans but it is Elizabeth Hand's understanding of the folklore threaded through Jackson's work that gives this <b>wonderfully creepy</b> novel much of its power. The story is <b>resolutely contemporary</b>, the world has moved on and the events of Dr Montague's investigation are long forgotten; but Hill House remains unchanged, no more sane now than it was sixty years ago. It's<b> a superb book, a subtle and deeply unnerving ghost story; entirely of itself and recognisably of Jackson's world</b>.

- AMANDA MASON, author of THE WAYWARD GIRLS,

If there's a writer you can trust with this formidable task, it's the wildly talented Elizabeth Hand. <i>A Haunting on the Hill</i> is <b>an admirable successor to <i>The Haunting of Hill Hous</i>e, alike in spirit but never trying to simply repeat what Shirley Jackson did in her classic novel</b>. Creepy, tragic, and, yes, haunting.<b> I tore through this novel, getting lost in the pages, drawn back into the mysteries of Hill House and enjoying every moment I was there</b>.

- Victor LaValle, author of THE CHANGELING,

<i>A Haunting on the Hill</i> is<b> a fever dream of a novel</b>, very much in the same spirit of <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i>, but also entirely its own entity. It's <b>brilliantly imagined, unsettling, cloying and claustrophobic and downright terrifying</b>.

- CRESSIDA MCLAUGHLIN,

If there's a spirit medium gifted enough to evoke the ghost of Shirley Jackson, it's surely Elizabeth Hand, whose startling, original body of work I've long admired. <i>A Haunting on the Hill</i> is <b>not a simple act of ventriloquism, but a true marriage of minds</b>, and I believe Ms. Jackson would have been proud to be the inspiration for this <b>smart and chilling return to the Hill House estate</b>.

- DAN CHAON, author of SLEEPWALK,

<i>A Haunting on the Hill</i> is absolutely captivating-<b>a book that you'll want to climb inside and love forever, until the moment you realize it's too late to escape</b>

- SARAH GAILEY, author of JUST LIKE HOME,

<b>A brilliant queer reimagining</b>...<b>Hand's work both modernizes and deepens Jackson's setting</b>, pulling readers into the demented halls of Hill House and the minds of its denizens
