Haunted house stories are my favourite (sub) genre. Or rather, haunted somethings. I really don't care if the haunted thing is a house, an asylum, ship,etc.
The House on Haunted Hill is one of my all time favourites. One of the few books that scared me. So I'm glad that Netflix has picked it up.
The other book that creeped me out is The Woman in Black by Susan Hill. Though it's technically more a haunted area, with the house and moors it stands on are most haunted. I first saw the play, bought the book at the theater and read it in one sitting that night whilst my classmates were experiencing the London nightlife.
On the I've enjoyed books by Sarah Rayne, Darcy Coates and Amy Cross, who ogten write about hauntings. The latter writing the grittiest stories.
