While there were some confusing moments I do feel that this is a horror story, something that not all "horror" books were able to provide. Hill House gets in your head, and the supernatural moments aren't just some random ghost hanging on the hallways with a menacing dagger. The atmosphere is effectively claustrophobic and the humor is well dozed and smart. The only problem is that the characters, especially the three co-protagonists feel somewhat Samish, and of course those inside the mind Eleanor moments that ruined the rythm of the story.
