Recommend me a creepy haunted house book please

[ILiveInSalemsLot]

I love a good creepy book and do like a spooky house with weird goings on.
Any ideas?

I’ve read The Little Stranger, This House is Haunted, The Woman in Black and Naomi’s Room.

We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson. Very chilling.

Agree with We Have Always Lived in the Castle. You could also try...
Wakenhyrst Michelle Paver
A House of Ghosts W.C. Ryan
The Silent Companions Laura Purcell

Ooh they sound good PaxtonsCrown! Thanks

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver was one of the most grippingly chilling books I’ve ever read I think. That isolation, dark and terror was so well described.

Agree, Dark Matter is brilliant, very very creepy

Slate House by David Mitchell is fantastic

Also The Turn of the Screw is you haven’t read it before

James Herbert's The Magic Cottage

Painted by Kirsten McKenzie
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
The Small Hand by Susan Hill

Great. So many to read. Thanks

The Haunting of Hill House, also by Shirley Jackson, of course!

Dark Matter is amazing - not spooky house but a book that is genuinely unsettling and scary!

Agree with Slade House too - different. Very good.

Ruth Ware's new one is good - The Turn of the Key. Not the kind of spooky house you expect but spooky all the same!
Wylding Hall by Elizabeth Hand also features an old country house.

I will have to check some of these out!

The House on Cold Hill by Peter James!

Oh wow those look good too.

(Btw fab site. I’ve used it a few times.)

Ooh Paxtons I was just coming on here to recommend Wakenhyrst! I haven’t read any other Michelle Paver but Dark Matter is on my list.

Mist in the mirror and the small hand by susan hill are excellent. Also one by her about a venetian painting, can't remember the exact name ( could have even been the mist in the mirror one I listened to them all as audiobooks as I walked the dog and they were gripping and it definitely reduced the monotony

House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski is creepy as all heck.

Op, I have no book suggestion wimp but what about this video

(Thought of it the second I saw your title)

Er...I’m a bit scared....should I wait til the morning?

No, perfectly safe

Another vote for Dark Matter, it really is bloody fantastic

I'm taking no responsibility for the sight of Pete Burns pre surgery though

Fab video. It’s got wolves and everything but the real horror is the over the top dramatics

House of Leaves is fantastic!

An unwanted guest by Shari Lapena is great. Full of suspense and spookiness 👍🏼

The Graveyard Apartment by Mariko Koike
The Coffin Path by Katherine Clements
Last Days by Adam Neville
Shadow on the Wall by Jonathan Aycliffe
