- Description
- The eerie, unsettling, and atmospheric horror fiction of Shirley Jackson proves that the scariest monsters are often the ones that live next door (albeit in a decaying Gothic mansion). Her elegantly written, psychologically intimate stories of delusional women, cruel communities, and creepy houses generate slow-building terror and suspense. Through nuanced detail, in-depth characterization, sardonic humor, misleading or untrustworthy first-person narration, and deliberately paced revelations, Jackson subtly distorts features that initially seem mundane into facets of the incredibly cruel and mysteriously ambiguous human pysche. Start with: The Haunting of Hill House
