THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE.
Edition: First printing.
New York: The Viking Press, 1959. Hardcover first edition - A hard to find first edition of JacksonÕs most famous and influential novel, considered one of the greatest horror stories of the 20th century - one which blurs the boundaries between the supernatural and psychological suspense. It begins "Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood so for eighty years and might stand for eighty more." Finalist for the National Book Award, filmed twice and the basis, very loosely, for the recent Netflix series. 246 pp.
Condition: Very near fine in turquoise boards over a yellow cloth spine with dark brown lettering (upper corners slightly bumped, but overall a tight, straight and clean copy), no dust jacket.
