THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE.

New York:: The Viking Press,, 1959.. Very good in turquoise boards over a gold cloth spine with dark brown lettering in a very good dust jacket (a bit of discoloration to the spine, some wear to the ends of the dj spine with a repair to interior, original price of 3.95 still present) . 3rd printing before publication. An attractive very early printing 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. Dust jacket by Paul Bacon.
