Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Meeghan Reads
I'm a day late, but yesterday's prompt of "mysterious houses" was too fun to pass up. Here are five books that I have enjoyed where the houses are mysterious in a variety of ways.
1. and 2. Howl's Moving Castle (not pictured) and House of Many Ways by Diana Wynne Jones
In Howl, the house has legs and moves about and is a character in it's own right. In one of the sequels, House of Many Ways, the house has doors that are portals, and is also a most important part of the story.
3. Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
In this book, the house, Manderley, is full of unsettling secrets and people, an uneasy place that the new Mrs. de Winter learns to dread.
4. Dracula by Bram Stoker
Count Dracula's castle is terrifying place, menacing and deadly.
5. Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
Poor Catherine Morland! She goes to Northanger Abbey expecting a gothic thrill but the mysterious oud house doesn't give exactly what she was wanting.
