Hell House

A dying millionaire, Deutsch, worried about the question “Is there life after death?” hires a team of scientists—specialists in paranormal phenomena—to investigate the possibility. The deadline for everything is one week.

The novel “Hell House” has become a classic of American literature alongside world bestsellers by Richard Matheson, such as “I Am Legend,” “The Incredible Shrinking Man,” and other books by the master.
