    In this episode, we look at chapter one of The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson. 

    First, I’ll read the chapter aloud before exploring key passages in detail with a close reading where we’ll look at the narrative’s structure to explore what we can learn about tone and pacing as writers. You’ll then have an exercise to try at home.
