**Before there was Hill House, there was the Halloran mansion of
Jackson's stunningly creepy fourth novel, The Sundial
**
When the Halloran clan gathers at the family home for a funeral, no one
is surprised when the somewhat peculiar Aunt Fanny wanders off into the
secret garden. But then she returns to report an astonishing vision of
an apocalypse from which only the Hallorans and their hangers-on will be
spared, and the family finds itself engulfed in growing madness, fear,
and violence as they prepare for a terrible new world.
