Why read it?
1 author picked The Sick House as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was the first book I read by Ambrose Ibsen and I was instantly hooked by his work. He has such a unique voice that draws the reader into the words he weaves, into the world that he creates.

From Alice's list on horror with the most intriguing protagonists.
