AFTERWORD

My favorite ghost story, and in my view the greatest ever, is The Haunting of Hill House. I know of no other writer in the field who conveys paranoia and spectral dread with more delicacy than Shirley Jackson. Who else could terrify with the sight of a picnic on a lawn? Robert Wise’s film The Haunting captures some of the psychology and attendant terrors of the novel, though in its insistence on how much is left unseen, it sometimes recalls Lovecraft at his least restrained. As for the remake, I shall say only that the press release claimed it was faithful to Shirley Jackson. We must hope it put nobody off the book. No less affecting than the reticence of the novel is its extraordinary poignancy. They are qualities I should like to see rediscovered by the field, and soon.
