Publisher's Summary
“Hell House is the scariest haunted house novel ever written. It looms over the rest the way the mountains loom over the foothills.” — Stephen King
From the author of I Am Legend comes Hell House, the basis for the supernatural horror film starring Pamela Franklin, Roddy McDowall, Clive Revill.
For over twenty years, Belasco House has stood empty. Regarded as the Mount Everest of haunted houses, its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of unimaginable horror and depravity. All previous attempts to probe its mysteries have ended in murder, suicide, or insanity. But now, a new investigation has been launched, bringing four strangers to Belasco House in search of the ultimate secrets of life and death. A wealthy publisher, brooding over his impending death, has paid a physicist and two mediums to establish the facts of life after death once and for all. For one night, they will investigate the Belasco House and learn exactly why the townsfolk refer to it as the Hell House.
Hell House, which inspired the 1973 film The Legend of Hell House, is Matheson’s most frightening and shocking book and an acknowledged classic of the genre.

Terribly unscary book
Just coming off the back of reading "The Haunting of hill house","turn of the screw" and the "woman in black", I was looking for some subtle and intelligent horror to read. This book was so fiercely bland and kept trying so hard to appall the senses, it was laughable at times. There is only so much silliness a person can stuff into one book and this book has tried it's best to stuff in as much as it can.
The main characters were uninteresting from the start and it was hard to care about anyone, living or dead. I cant say too much about the random slaps that were generously given to the women in the book from time to time.
The hell house itself wasn't scary but only seemed rather smelly.
The only saving grace was the reader of the audiobook, Ray Porter, he needs an award for keeping a straight face and voice through this frankly ludicrous book.
I would not recommend this book to anyone who likes Shirley Jackson, M.R. James or Susan Hill. This book might be someone's cup of tea but it definitely is not mine.
