Hill House
Home on rise
Hill House is a fictional haunted mansion in Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel *The Haunting of Hill House*, one of the most influential horror stories in American literature.
The house itself functions as a malevolent character—its angles are slightly wrong, its architecture subtly disorienting.
The name has become shorthand for a haunted house whose evil seems built into its walls: The old asylum had real Hill House energy.
