Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House has received both critical
acclaim and heaps of contempt for its reimagining of Shirley
Jackson's seminal horror novel. Some found Mike Flanagan's series
inventive, respectful and terrifying. Others believed it denigrated
and diminished its source material, with some even calling it a
"betrayal" of Jackson. Though the novel has produced a great deal
of scholarship, this is the first critical collection to look at
the television series. Featuring essays from noted scholars and
award-winning horror authors, this collection goes beyond comparing
the novel and the Netflix adaptation to look at the series through
the lenses of gender, architecture, education, hauntology,
addiction, and trauma studies including analysis of the show in the
context of 9/11 and #Me Too. Specific essays compare the series
with other texts, from Flanagan's other films and other adaptations
of Jackson's novel, to the television series Supernatural, Toni
Morrison's Beloved and the 2018 film Hereditary. Together, this
collection probes a terrifying television series about how scary
reality can truly be, usually because of what it says about our
lives in America today.
