is the whole novel not just like the house? scenes that cut abruptly and leave you off balance, passages that twist into places that get you a little lost; much like the house always slightly tilted and put together just well enough to leave you uneasy and uncertain. or, i suppose, eleanor's mind ended up like that. we just got to see like how the others did

Pride Prints! (no watermark on Inprnt)
ok the last one isn’t exactly Pride but it is ironic and has the tagline of Aliens 1979 with a bisexual colored background.
Here’s to the people who read The Haunting of Hill House, The Exorcist, and watched Dracula’s Daughter.

tshirt that says NO LIVE ORGANISM CAN CONTINUE FOR LONG TO EXIST SANELY UNDER CONDITIONS OF ABSOLUTE REALITY
#i literally JUST finished hill house a few days ago and i already want to reread. Badly. it's sooo so so soo sooooooooo good <33333!!!!!#also completely enamored by shirley jackson's writing style i NEED to read everything she has written ever like right now..#opening lines of ALL TIME btw 👆❗❗❗#r.txt#the haunting of hill house#ALSO i've seen commentary videos on the tv show they made of hill house but from what i remember of it it's SO different from the book???#i think they were all siblings in the show which is??????? like why would you change that part?? i love sibling relationships as much as the#next guy but i feel like the fact that none of them knew each other was such an essential part of the story like why would u change it....#also eleanor was like. an entirely different character who was also already dead in the show i believe??? and dr. montague doesn't exist??#hill house could've been really good as a show idk why they changed it up like that...like was the original story not interesting enough for#you or something?? WHO decided to make that change i just wanna talk 🤨

important entries in the "closeted horror" genre:
I Saw The TV Glow (movie)
The Picture of Dorian Gray (book)
The Haunting of Hill House (book)
The Exorcist (book)
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (book)
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (movie sequel)
^ even for the unintentional ones, there was lot of coding that was apt for the period it was made and will make you chew the walls thinking about it

at long last my attempt at collecting every single cover of hill house is live! 125+ covers, sortable by publishing date, language, and whether it's a movie/tv tie-in cover. if you know any more that aren't on here, leave a comment on the site so i can add them!
#kaylee.txt#kaylee.html#shirley jackson#the haunting of hill house#hill house#book covers#this was supposed to be just a quick little project and then it took. uh. like 2 months to finish lmao#maybe more than 2 months actually i think i started it before i moved
