What I’m looking for is a story where people are investigating a haunted house but the story is more about the bad things that happened in the house and how it affects the characters (though the house actually being haunted isn’t a deal breaker).
Hell House and the Haunting of Hill House sort of had what I’m looking for but Hell House was too openly supernatural and Hill-house was a bit too subtle.
I enjoyed the way The Shining focused on the past of the hotel and wished there was more focus on that in the novel.
