I've seen the movies but haven't read the book. What a absolutely enchanting way of getting to enjoy it! I actually didn't know there was a book. I was very young when I watched the first movie and it gave me nightmares for months. This is a real treat Tony! Especially since it's you doing the narration, you really bring all the characters to life! It's like seeing a movie, but inside your mind. I bet you were the best dad at reading bedtime stories. Thank you Tony for all you do. You bring so much comfort to many I'm sure. Keep well my friend, you are precious 😻
:) That's how it all started, reading bedtime stories to my daughters. I do enjoy doing it though. thank you again for your kindness
It’s going to be difficult to wait a whole week for chapter 6. Love it❤
I have read this story, but it disturbed me due to the suffocating atmosphere. There is another person who reads this extremely well on YT, but it’s very strange how different the story is, depending on how it’s read. This is why A.I. will never ever compare to the human who infused the tale with emotion, their own perception through the lens of their own experiences and skills. This story is a fine example of how much the human brings to a narrative, changes and embodies it. It’s haunted not only by Shirley Jackson, herself but, by the reader. The book becomes a house to be haunted.
I think i this is a lovely review
Such a well written book. Creepy and I care about the characters. They seem real. Worthy of concern and interest.
I always want more, even though I've read this dozens of times over the years. My mother had a copy and I believe this book was the 1st horror novel (novella?) we shared and discussed. I was no more than maybe 8 the 1st time I read it, and too young to catch the nuances. But as I grew older and with my mother's taste in books, I decided Shirley Jackson was the most brilliant writer of her time. I still feel that way, and hold her in high esteem against many talented artists. The fact that she was female, and most horror at the time was produced by men, made me admire her even more. And tbh even her most seemingly mundane works always left me disconcerted. And made me want to write.
Thank you SO much for bringing this treasure to life. With my mom in a nursing home in another state, uncommunicative, this reading takes me home to happier times. Sharing and scaring one another...and loving it 💜
It’s always a privilege to me to be able in part to bring you stories that are living parts of your life
@@ClassicGhost You definitely succeed in doing that..and I appreciate it more than you can know 💜
This is getting so exciting. I'm thoroughly enjoying this like a radio series of old 👌 thank you so much. Can't wait for the next instalment!
That’s how I wanted it to be with the weekly wait . Glad you’re enjoying it
Gripping, vivid narration , Tony. It will be a long week. Thank you.
This is one of the best things you have done Tony, I am absolutely loving it, thankyou so much !
This is so frightening. I’ve always loved this part.
I was NOT ready for the last sentence 😳💕
I never thought I would find this story funny at any point, that was until you said Glamis Castle in your best American accent. I have been smiling and chuckling ever since. This story could well be my favourite of all times. Thanks for your reading!
Thank you so much tony! Mondays are always good days now!🫶‼️
Very welcome Maria. We have a few more weeks to go
oooooh yeeeeeessssssss...the penultimate moment comes.
Oh my...! I think you had a lot of fun reading this one! Not sure I'll be sleeping tight on this very wild & stormy night!
I'm enjoying this book ❤! I haven't seen the movie or read the book so I'm a blank slate listening to this thrilling narration. Is Elinor going bonkers?
Wow! Even the comments are fascinating!
Even though it's late in the game to say it, but GREAT choice of book.
As good as a Carter, but like Deco to Nouveau.
Hey hey. That’s a crazy good comparison
I love both styles.
Deco has more subtle hints concealed under simple lines, and Nouveau simply flaunts it's lushness in complex lines.
Quite a paradox in terms and writing.
I returned to the listen several times each upload. I’ve listened to the audiobook, unabridged & abridged version I think, but I haven’t seen any of the movies or television; but your version is by far my very favorite!
I’m looking forward to the last post with the discussion at the end.
I am going to be joining the Book Club. I’ve a little pocket money, so…by next month…🎉❤📚📕
I had t thought of doing one at the end but I might now
@@ClassicGhost A discussion at the end sounds awesome! 💜
This installment was great. Such a chilling ending.
More tomorrow
Was there a movie adaptation of this story where Catherine Zeta-Jones played the role of Theodora, or am I just Mandela effected?
Oh yes...with Liam Neeson. Owen Wilson and Lily Taylor...the best is Robert Wise production "The Haunting" 1963...Julie Harris..Claire Bloom..Richard Johnson,
..Russ Tamblyn. Richard Matheson wrote a novel " Hell House". Sort of a knockoff. Interesting movie with Rowdy McDowell..Pamela Franklin.
Was Kate Beckinsale in a version of this ?
@@ClassicGhost Hmmmmm..the only movie I can think of with Kate Beckensale " Van Helsing". 🤣 I can't think of another movie that represents Shirley Jackson's story. Now look you have done...I'll be up all night.
@@thegreencat9947 Yes, Kate Beckinsale appeared in the 1999 film "The Haunting." The movie is a horror film directed by Jan de Bont and is a loose adaptation of the 1959 novel "The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson. In the film, Beckinsale played the character of Eleanor "Nell" Vance, one of the four people invited to participate in a study of sleep disorders at a creepy mansion that soon proves to be haunted.
@@ClassicGhost Sorry...that was Lili Taylor who played Nell. Jan De Bont 1999...DreamWorks production....sleep disorders.. I beg to differ.🤔
18:02 bookmark for me
Time for night night......could you please do 2 chapters at a time ? Your killing me....but I will always wait for you.
Soon it’ll be all over :)
🙏
Sometimes I think I have a hard time understanding character motivations. Like why Theodora and Elenore should get so angry at each other in this chapter. I think I just want them to bond so badly. It seems their playful, friendly talk has always had some undercurrent of bitterness and cruelty, though. Someone tell me if this is true?
Welcome to Shirley Jackson.
When you finish listening to this wonderful narration, if you are able, watch 'Shirley', it's a biographical movie about the author.
While I gather that there are inaccuracies, I think that Elizabeth Moss brings Shirley's complex character to life.
@@Story-Voracious66 Thank you for the suggestion.
Still getting used to your "American" accent.
He's not truly American I suppose
I love it.
Why must you do an American accent its so bad , as an American with Irish parents, i feel like every English or irish doing an Am accent sounds liks a bad impression of johm Wayne !!! Its so bad Tony please keep to your own way of speaking!!!!
I’m Irish American but it sounds fine to me! Maybe you are just a very critical person! Why listen and complain because we are all on here because WE love it! How would we know that it was the doctor and he has come as the outsider and the other accent’s Tony’s always done are fantastic because that is how you learn…… you learn by doing! No English people generally can’t do an Irish accent properly either except professional actors and tony got it correct on Unreal City and several other early Irish ☘️ accent’s even though he has to flip in And out of all the other characters accent’s at the same time….. even the professional’s wouldn’t be able to do that! When you only have to focus on one accent then it’s completely different and it was a different period in time remember!!!!!
@@mariameere5807 omg lol get a life
Oh just listen and enjoy...🤣
Its a caricature accent in the same way I’ve attempted Luke and Theodora and Eleanor. None of them are my own accent of course and neither is the narrators voice . I’m sorry if it didn’t work for you . I just need to do something to create the ‘sound stage’ that’s the plan. Dr montague is based on Agent smith from the Matrix. I never thought he sounded quite authentic (he’s a New Zealander). I hadn’t intended Dr montague to sound authentic either in fact. Though you could say that’s just an excuse :)
I think the handling of Montague is perfect. Snobby know-it-all academic, sounds always like he's talking to students.
