If you like haunted house stories, it is a classic! It's a novella, too, only 9 chapters.
The 'journey's end' phrase is one Eleanor repeats (as are the others in quotes) during the story. It is creepy. You don't really know what part of the phenomena in the house are the house being haunted or Eleanor's mind or perhaps her own psychic power. It's a scary sort of muddle. And the architecture of Hill House is very interesting to. There's a suggestion that everything (by sinister design) an inch or two off and so throws the visitor's inner ear or equilibrium off. Really, really interesting edifice.
