There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
The October Country. But it's also available as a single storybook illustrated by Dave McKean.
That's the one I have.

I love it! One of my favorites. The narrator character was named one of the 100 most interesting in fiction by...Time Magazine? Anyway, it's a great book.
Kat, yes to both.

Wholeheartedly, Kat! It's wonderful, in a gothic/psychological way and eminently readable. Definitely worth the read...and many re-reads. I love it.

It's great. Very atmospheric and subtly creepy.
Yes, I prefer the story of Hill House but the characters of Castle.
I love the story of Hill House, but I can't reread it very often, because it freaks me out every damn time.
Yeah, Hill House is the one that concerns me. Because, you know, my house might be insane. I'm not so worried about the events of Castle.
