This is perhaps why most of the things I’ve read by her leave me feeling a bit queasy: you can’t quite point out why you’re scared, but you are.
Shirley Jackson’s writing is measured and subtle, focused on what happens within rather than without it is about leaving things out rather than about showing things, it is suggestive but never obvious. I’ve been a fan of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle because they really scared me, although not in a way that most horror books do. For my last spooky read of the year (it’s almost Christmas!) I chose an author I’m familiar with.
