    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    The best-known of Shirley Jackson's novels and a major inspiration for writers like Stephen King as well as the hit Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House is a chilling story of the power of fear

    'Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written' Donna Tartt

    Alone in the world, Eleanor is delighted to take up Dr Montague's invitation to spend a summer in the mysterious Hill House. Joining them are Theodora, an artistic 'sensitive', and Luke, heir to the house. But what begins as a light-hearted experiment is swiftly proven to be a trip into their darkest nightmares, and an investigation that one of their number may not survive. Twice filmed as The Haunting, and the inspiration for a 10-part Netflix series, The Haunting of Hill House is a powerful work of slow-burning psychological horror.

    'An amazing writer ... If you haven't read her you have missed out on something marvellous' Neil Gaiman

    'As nearly perfect a haunted-house tale as I have ever read' Stephen King

    'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable' A. M. Homes

    'Shirley Jackson is one of those highly idiosyncratic, inimitable writers...whose work exerts an enduring spell' Joyce Carol Oates
