As the story went, Hugh Crain built it as a place for his family to live and be happy together, but I think the house was described as evil from the start, so where did that evil come from? It just didn't make sense to me. I, too, wondered why the house was so angry.

However, I thought this was probably one of the most realistic haunted house stories because it seemed so suttle? It is a favorite of mine. Even though I really liked Castle it took me quite a while to get into that one. Not so with Hill House. Where haunted houses are concerned I always think of when each person dies in that particular house or that said person is evil it adds to the evil of the house. Does that make sense? (Something similar that was said in Stephen King's Rose Red. I think.) It's been a while since I've read the book (or watched Rose Red for that matter). Sorry you were disappointed, but it seems you enjoy Shirley Jackson? Which is always a good thing. :) .-= MillyMarie´s last blog ..<a href="http://millymarie.wordpress.com/2009/11/17/reviews-coming-this-week/" rel="nofollow">Reviews Coming This Week.</a> =-.

I think its the reader. :-D I also think it might have something to do with the order in which you read her books. I loved We Have Always Lived in the Castle, so I might have set myself up for disappointment. I don’t think it’s necessarily the time period, because there are plenty of people who love it.

The house is definitely a characterm and I think it could've used a bit more development. Or a better developer. No, it’s a good comparison.
