"We expect our literary haunted houses to hide secrets and monsters, but the true haunting in STARLING HOUSE lurks in the long-festering darkness of American history. We must face the past—even if it requires a descent into hell. With great characters, impeccable storytelling, and plenty of Southern Gothic charm, this novel is the ideal autumn read, complete with a dreamy, tender romance to help keep that eerie chill at bay. Alix E. Harrow simply never disappoints."

"A Haunting on the Hill captured everything that made Shirley Jackson's original so sublime--the creeping, growing feeling of someone watching you in the dark, the terror that can lurk in personal relationships, and the ever-growing dread that comes with occupying the infamous Hill House. The feeling of dread that this book conjures sunk into my bones and has yet to leave. A stellar entry into Shirley Jackson's world of horror."

"Usually I don't like non-historical fiction, it is jarring to watch figures one has reviled one's whole life be killed. But there is gratification, too. And with Easy Company in the house, an' that ole noncom, Sgt Rock, its a joy. An' ya know what? Bruce Campbell treats ole Sarge with respect, fully supported by the fine line support of noir beast Eduardo Risso for the perfect balance of grit and resignation that make Sgt. Rock great!"
– Griffin
"A fast and breezy read with an immersive setting. Chock full of historical details and fun world building touches, wrapped in a lot of dark emotions and traumatic events. I'm looking forward to a sequel."
