Hell House

"The scariest haunted house novel ever written." --Stephen King "One of the absolute best contemporary horror novels." --Peter Straub

From Richard Matheson, author of I am Legend, comes his most frightening and shocking book, Hell House - an indisputable horror classic.

For more than 20 years, Belasco House has stood empty. 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 the Maine mansion 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 proof of life after death once and for all. And for one terrible night, the group will investigate the property and learn exactly why the townsfolk refer to it as the Hell House.
