Shirley Jackson can do no wrong in my eyes, love all her work!

dabbe I have to read THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE every Halloween: best ghost story ever written IMHO. 🖤🤍🖤 1y

Cazxxx @dabbe it‘s a good one! My favourite is we have always lived in the castle, I‘ve reread that a good few times 😊 1y

dabbe @Cazxxx Ooh, another great one. Merricat, right? And my favorite short story of hers: “The Lottery.“ 😱 1y

Cazxxx @dabbe Yes that‘s the one, it‘s so good! Her short stories are also excellent. Like I said she can do no wrong in my eyes 😄 1y

While visiting my parents in their new town in CA, I discovered that they hadn‘t yet found a little bookstore to call their own. Well, I obviously had to fix that! (Tagged book is one I picked up while there. Because obviously I needed more things to pack. #noregrets )

Sace That looks like a perfect bookstore. I love it. 5y

I am in the last few chapters of Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows and eager to begin my second book here in Bali for our #ScreamsByMail #HorrorPostalBookClub and #WomenReadWomen2019. Our private villa has an in-house chef who makes the most mouth-watering dishes. Truly delicious.

I got my #horrorgoespostal book from @ephemeralwaltz today. Looking forward to reading it. :) And thank you so much for the beautiful Bartleby tote bag, Clara. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

ephemeralwaltz You're so very welcome! I knew you'd like it 😍 I couldn't resist getting the same one for me. 6y

CocoReads I haven‘t read that book in so long! Probably not since high school. Oddly enough, it was the only non religious book in my maternal grandma‘s house. Im pretty sure she never read it, I think it must have been left there by one of her kids-my birth Mom or possibly one of her siblings. 6y

scripturient @ephemeralwaltz We‘re tote-twins then. 😁 6y

pick

Missing Christmas already! This was my last read of 2018. I picked it up for my #horrorpost bookclub, excited to read more of Jackson's fiction. However, I don't think this works well as a horror novel but it still is dark and mysterious and intriguing. An in-depth exploration of mental health and human relationships surrounding a young woman with multiple personality disorder. As always, Jackson's writing is just superb!

⭐⭐⭐⭐

ephemeralwaltz @scripturient I'll send this out to you next week, once I've finished filling in the journal! 😘😘 6y

ephemeralwaltz @kamoorephoto @Reggie @danibolahood @BookishTrish @GatheringBooks I hope you all enjoy it, regardless! #Round2 #screamsbymail here we go! 6y

The Bird's Nest | Shirley Jackson

so-so

I despised all the characters, the character changes of the chapters seemed poorly thought out and the story overall seemed to try and blend the horror story always imposed on DID with the 'medical' ramblings of the psych. And I get it was 1950s but I dont really know why Jackson bothered with most of the doctor's chapter.

ephemeralwaltz Agreed! He made me roll my eyes. I "love" that he addressed the reader as "sir," as only men would be capable of studying his medical journals. 6y

ephemeralwaltz Overall I enjoyed it! Jackson's writing is one to savour slowly. I was expecting more of an ending, though! 6y

I decided on this as my next pick for my postal book club, #ScreamsByMail - we're doing a "Women In Horror" theme! I can't call myself a big Jackson fan until I dive into more of her work.
