Little, Brown Book Group The Birthing House
Book SynopsisWhen Conrad Harrison impulse-buys a big old house in Wisconsin, his wife Jo doesn''t share his enthusiasm, reluctant at the idea of leaving their LA life - so Conrad is left to set up their new home as she ties up loose ends at work. But Conrad''s new purchase is not all that it seems. Soon Conrad is hearing the ghostly wailing of a baby in the night, seeing blood on the floor and being haunted by a woman who looks exactly like Jo. With his wife away, Conrad becomes obsessed by the pregnant girl next door, Nadia, who claims to be a victim of the evil in the house. The crying leads him to a bricked-up body, and the mystery of the Birthing House unravels, pulling in Jo, Nadia and leading Conrad to a nightmarish conclusion...Trade ReviewIf The Birthing House had just been a biting and well-written novel about a contemporary marriage, that would have been enough to make it worth your time. If it had just been the kind of genuinely scary story that makes little hairs stand up on the back of your neck, that would have been sufficient as well. But what's remarkable is that it manages to have the best of both genres, without sacrificing thrills for insight. This is a rare thing: a ghost story with class. Read it. * Peter Blauner *

She is an associated artist with Obie award winning groups 13P, The Civilians and New Georges, and is a member of New Dramatists.Trade ReviewThe energy, ambition and attainment of this terrific adaptation of stories from the eponymous classic 1960s American television series... will delight fans of the original and welcome in newcomers too, which is no mean feat. Anne Washburn sinuously interweaves stories from eight original episodes... A classy Christmas – and, I suspect, far beyond – treat. * Evening Standard *This isn’t a show just for fans, but it definitely acknowledges them. It’s a loving pastiche, fully alert to the swirl of cultural inheritances that come with the show and its era... a playfully great piece of theatre about the power of imagination: about how people use storytelling, particularly science fiction, to navigate new frontiers and question society. There’s a good reason that theme tune lingers. * The Stage *A glorious exercise in sci-fi kitsch with a few smart lessons about the present... the real knockout scene is a reworking of 1961’s ‘The Bunker... basically the current battle or the soul of America distilled into a bleakly comic 15-minute playlet. * Time Out *Unsettling, dazzling and sophisticated entertainment... accomplished with enormous flair. It is sometimes frightening, sometimes spooky and occasionally funny.

Having received a grant to develop her new play, all she needs is time and space to bring her vision to life. ThenTrade ReviewScary and beautifully written, imbued with the same sense of dread and inevitability as Jackson's original, A Haunting on the Hill is quite extraordinary. It's not pastiche, not ventriloquism. It puts me strongly in mind of a singer you love covering a song by another artist. It's that song but now it's being done by someone else. Remarkable. -- NEIL GAIMAN, author of AMERICAN GODSA fitting - and frightening - homage to The Haunting of Hill House * NEW YORK TIMES *Beautifully creepy with the same claustrophobic intensity and sense of impending doom of the original, but at the same time with a great sense of progression, of the house having evolved over the years. It's so vivid, full of totemic menace and with a heart-in-your-mouth, can't-look-away frisson. -- BRIDGET COLLINS, author of THE BINDINGGenuinely sinister and beautifully written, with a real sense of depth to the folklore and theatrical inspiration. -- ROSIE ANDREWS, author of THE LEVIATHANEerily beautiful, strangely seductive, and genuinely upsetting: welcome back to Hill House. I recommend reading only in strong daylight, and never alone. -- ALIX E. HARROW, author of THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARYHill House is back and haunting as ever in this vividly imagined return to Shirley Jackson's iconic setting. Elizabeth Hand weaves eerie beauty into the genuine terror lurking in her pages, crafting some of the most striking scares I've read in years. This book gave me the best kind of nightmares. -- ANA REYES, author of THE HOUSE IN THE PINESI absolutely loved A Haunting on the Hill, which snared me with its terrifying opening and relinquished me only on the very last page. Huge boots to fill, but Elizabeth Hand rose to the challenge with her darkly complex characters and a novel dripping in atmosphere and intrigue. -- JOANNE BURN, author of THE HEMLOCK CUREA Haunting on the Hill is as unnerving and disorienting as Hill House itself, a place where evil lurks behind every door. I was completely gripped by this terrifying and original tale. -- LAURA SHEPPERSON, author of THE HEROINESA novel with all the chills of Jackson that also highlights the contemporary flavor and evocative writing of Hand. The story stays true to Jackson's vision of "Hill House" while becoming a thing of its own. Indeed, A Haunting on the Hill is strange and wonderful, a frightening foray into the supernatural that will inspire you to go back and reread the original. * WASHINGTON POST *The lines of paranoia, art, and reality are terrifyingly blurred for our group of hungry and damaged actors cloistered within the mouldering walls of Hill House. Only the brilliant Elizabeth Hand could so expertly honor Jackson's rage, wit, and vision with a 21st century twist. The old place is as creepy, disorienting, and menacing as ever. -- PAUL TREMBLAY, author of THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLDEvocative and unsettling, A Haunting on the Hill captures the essence of the original whilst offering something brand new. -- CARLY REAGON, author of THE TOLL HOUSEThere are - fittingly - echoes of the original which will satisfy fans but it is Elizabeth Hand's understanding of the folklore threaded through Jackson's work that gives this wonderfully creepy novel much of its power. The story is resolutely contemporary, the world has moved on and the events of Dr Montague's investigation are long forgotten; but Hill House remains unchanged, no more sane now than it was sixty years ago. It's a superb book, a subtle and deeply unnerving ghost story; entirely of itself and recognisably of Jackson's world. -- AMANDA MASON, author of THE WAYWARD GIRLSIf there's a writer you can trust with this formidable task, it's the wildly talented Elizabeth Hand. A Haunting on the Hill is an admirable successor to The Haunting of Hill House, alike in spirit but never trying to simply repeat what Shirley Jackson did in her classic novel. Creepy, tragic, and, yes, haunting. I tore through this novel, getting lost in the pages, drawn back into the mysteries of Hill House and enjoying every moment I was there. -- Victor LaValle, author of THE CHANGELINGA Haunting on the Hill is a fever dream of a novel, very much in the same spirit of The Haunting of Hill House, but also entirely its own entity. It's brilliantly imagined, unsettling, cloying and claustrophobic and downright terrifying. -- CRESSIDA MCLAUGHLINIf there's a spirit medium gifted enough to evoke the ghost of Shirley Jackson, it's surely Elizabeth Hand, whose startling, original body of work I've long admired. A Haunting on the Hill is not a simple act of ventriloquism, but a true marriage of minds, and I believe Ms. Jackson would have been proud to be the inspiration for this smart and chilling return to the Hill House estate. -- DAN CHAON, author of SLEEPWALKA Haunting on the Hill is absolutely captivating-a book that you'll want to climb inside and love forever, until the moment you realize it's too late to escape -- SARAH GAILEY, author of JUST LIKE HOMEA brilliant queer reimagining...Hand's work both modernizes and deepens Jackson's setting, pulling readers into the demented halls of Hill House and the minds of its denizens * BOOKPAGE *Shirley Jackson fans, rejoice! * WBEZ CHICAGO *Jackson's creation is in capable hands with Hand. * THE WEEK *Hand unnerves us by inference and restraint...it's a measure of Hand's precision and skill that we have so much fun watching[the characters] put together the pieces that doom them * MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE *Frightening * PRIMA *The short chapters, intriguing and complex characters, and beautifully written (yet sinister) descriptions make the novel an irresistible page-turner * INDEPENDENT *A Gothic treat - hugely atmospheric and lovingly written, this is a fitting follow-up to the original * HEAT *A creepy read, featuring fun-to-spot references to other horror classics * MAIL ON SUNDAY *Suspenseful and gripping . . . the short chapters, intriguing and complex characters, and beautifully written (yet sinister) descriptions make the novel an irresistible page-turner * PRESS & JOURNAL (Aberdeen) *An enjoyably atmospheric return to the world of a cult classic - a Halloween treat for fans of genre fiction, haunted-house horror, and things that go bump in the night. * DAILY EXPRESS *The unsettling atmosphere in this novel builds from the start and never disappoints.
