Following on from where Shirley Jacksons' timeless ghost story left off, discover the first ever authorised sequel to The Haunting of Hill House.
Sixty years after the terrible events at Hill House, history is set to repeat itself. When a group of actors set up a rehearsal retreat in an old abandoned property, they think they have found the perfect inspiration for THE WITCH OF EDMONTON. But they soon sense a hostile presence in the house. Then the horrors unfold. By the end of the summer, will any of them survive For whatever walks in Hill House, walks alone . . .I absolutely loved A Haunting on the Hill, which snared me with its terrifying opening and relinquished me only on the very last page. Huge boots to fill, but Elizabeth Hand rose to the challenge with her darkly complex characters and a novel dripping in atmosphere and intrigue. -- JOANNE BURN, author of THE HEMLOCK CURE
