The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting on the Hill: Never Trust Something That Doesn't Dream
This week, Julie and Jarad discuss the Haunting of Hill House and the authorized sequel, The Haunting on the Hill. Are there places where the soul can be trapped by absolute reality? Unable to leave or dream? Can stories crack open the hellish holes we can fall into?
In this episode there are tangents and ghost stories and rampant speculation. Join us to discuss just what the heck is going on with the demented entity that is Hill House, and also find out whether late night accordion concerts can reset the energy in your own dwelling.

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
