Ashleigh Mounser
A searing, chilling debut suspense novel about a family home with a history, haunting three generations of women—for fans of Jean Hanff Korelitz and Gillian Flynn.
For as long as Betty can remember, Hanger Hill has been more than a house: it’s a place haunted by whispers. Some of the rumors are vague. Others are disturbingly specific. She remembers only some of it… the flick of a cat’s tale. The smell of rot. Screams coming from below the kitchen floor. Pages of old diaries curling amongst flames.
On Betty’s eighteenth birthday, she finds the courage to ask her strange, reclusive mother to tell the real story of her family: her mother had been a young woman, reeling from the suicide of her grandmother, when she inherited her family home in the town where her troubled sister drowned. Moving from the city with her long-term boyfriend, she began renovating the house in which she spent so much of her childhood. At first, she was convinced that the project would lift her out of her debilitating grief, but instead she found herself isolated, soon overcome by creeping solitude as her relationship broke down and tensions within the house rose.
As her mother spins her story, Betty evades questions from the police officer who is circling, convinced that the case of the deaths at Hanger Hill should be reopened. Then, she discovers her great-grandmother’s diaries, and the passages inside reveal a terrible truth at the heart of her family.
批評家のレビュー
“In this richly evocative, atmospheric take on the haunted house as an enduring site of family trauma, Mounser excels at creating an atmosphere of mounting dread. The isolation and creeping threat of the supernatural are unnerving enough to chill even the most devoted horror readers—but, like the best of Shirley Jackson and Stephen King, Mounser’s modern Australian gothic knows that the true terror within every haunted house lies not in its ghosts, but in the unexplored recesses of its characters’ minds. An accomplished, genuinely chilling debut.”—Ashley Winstead, national bestselling author of Hot Girl Murder Club
“Delightfully unsettling. The sort of tale that seeps into your bones and refuses to let go. Mounser excels in creating unease bubbling under the surface of the mundane. I loved every moment.”—Kristi DeMeester, author of Dark Sisters and Such A Pretty Smile
“The House at Hanger Hill is a compulsively readable gothic thriller that evokes the spirit of Shirley Jackson—rich, twisty, and wonderfully spooky.”—Dan Chaon, author of One of Us
“Unsettling, mysterious and addictive—everything I love in a thriller. The House at Hanger Hill is an expertly-crafted unraveling of the lies we tell ourselves and others. Mounser nails tension and keeps you guessing until the last line.”—Laura McCluskey, author of The Wolf Tree and The Cursed Road
“Devastating and sinister, The House at Hanger Hill is a superbly complex novel brimming with dark secrets and stunning revelations. With its clever layering of time, characters and multiple stories, it takes readers into a psychological maze that had me absorbed from the intriguing beginning to its wildly unpredictable conclusion.”—Lyn Yeowart, author of The Silent Listener
“Ashleigh Mounser’s horror-tinged psychological thriller drips with creeping, twisty dread. It will slither under your skin and absorb your thoughts until you discover every last secret. I loved it.”—Ashley Kalagian Blunt, author of Dark Mode
“The House at Hanger Hill is a supremely unnerving labyrinth of a debut, from a writer who knows exactly what she’s doing. Mounser had me in the palm of her hand until the very end, when all the pieces fell into place and I went straight back to the beginning to read all over again. This is gothic suspense at its deliciously diabolical best.”—Anna Downes, author of Red River Road
