A Haunting on the Hill by Elizabeth Hand
Did not finish book. Stopped at 24%.
The characters are all horrible people. And according to reviews here, there’s no growth for any of them. And when the infidelity subplot came up I knew this wasn’t a book I cared to finish.
And I’m not a die-hard fan of Jackson’s original Hill House, but I liked it well enough. Hand’s story uses very different horror elements, abandoning the gothic horror of the original for weird black rabbits and witches, to the point that I’m not sure why it’s set in Hill House except to sell books under a misleading premise.

Graphic: Infidelity
Moderate: Toxic relationship and Gaslighting
