On this episode of Two Bluestockings, we are discussing (with a few rabbit trails) the book Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (https://amzn.to/2IWjpCw). Join Aarika, Jayna and Chad as they try to unravel their thoughts on a classic book that is highly recommended.
Four seekers have arrived at the rambling old pile known as Hill House:
Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of psychic phenomena
Theodora, his lovely and lighthearted assistant
Luke, the adventurous future inheritor of the estate
Eleanor, a friendless, fragile young woman with a dark past
As they begin to cope with chilling, even horrifying occurrences beyond their control or understanding, they cannot possibly know what lies ahead. For Hill House is gathering its powers- and soon it will choose one of them to make its own.
Honorary mention goes to Communion : A true story by Whitley Strieber (https://amzn.to/390uGfL). This book was supposed to be discussed, but it was placed on the DNF (did not finish) list by both Aarika and Jayna.
On December 26, 1985, at a secluded cabin in upstate New York, Whitley Strieber went skiing with his wife and son, ate Christmas dinner leftovers, and went to bed early.
Six hours later, he found himself suddenly awake... and forever changed.
Thus begins the most astonishing true-life odyssey ever recorded- one man's riveting account of his extraordinary experiences with visitors from "elsewhere"... how they found him, where they took him, what they did to him and why....
Believe it. Or don't believe it. But read it- for this gripping story will move you and alter the way you experience your world.
