Challenges from Exploding Steamboats discussion

I've been wanting to read Slade House. Does that qualify?

Other titles that come to mind are The Shining, The Amityville Horror, and The Red Room Riddle: A Ghost Story.

I have just read Shirley Jackson's "We Have Always Lived in the Castle". It isn't a haunted house in the traditional sense, but three family members continue to live hidden away in the house where the rest of their family was poisoned to death - by one of the people still living there. They live constantly with the murders as a part of their lives. Later, a cousin arrives uninvited and unannounced, and the narrator (the youngest of the survivors) sees him as a devil and a demon, and she uses some magic in the hopes that the house will expel him.

Wow, sounds intense! I recently bought myself a copy, so I hope I have a chance to read it soon.

I did read We Have Always Lived in the Castle, but I'm not counting it for this prompt. The ones I'm counting are The House of Shattered Wings, The Plague Court Murders, and Murder in G Major. Plague Court is a bit of a stretch because the place isn't really haunted, but it's a story-in-a-story book, and the inner story is the legend told as an actual ghost story.

Agatha Raisin and the Haunted House -- turned out not to be haunted, but I will count the book anyway because I bought it for this challenge in particular

I ended up reading Sweet Tea and Spirits. The town's historical society building is haunted in this one.

I'm adding Poe to this one, but I don't recommend it. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with Edgar Allan Poe.
