Who is Luke Crain in The Haunting of Hill House?
The twin the needles found first · The Crain Siblings
Luke Crain (The twin the needles found first) is a character in The Haunting of Hill House, part of The Crain Siblings. Luke Crain was the boy with the bowler-hatted man no one else could see — the most haunted of the children, grown into a heroin addict whose family files his calls under 'again.' Ninety days clean as the series opens, Luke counts his sobriety in white chips and his safety in the twin-sense he shares with Nell: each always knows when the other is cold. The house took his childhood and his credibility; the season takes the one person who never stopped believing him, and then asks what he does next.
