Shirley Jackson's beloved gothic tale of a peculiar girl named Merricat and her family's dark secret

Shirley Jackson

Shirley Jackson was born in San Francisco in 1916. She first received wide critical acclaim for her short story The Lottery, which was published in 1949. Her novels - which include The Sundial, The Bird's Nest, Hangsaman, The Road through the Wall, We Have Always Lived in the Castle and The Haunting of Hill House - are characterised by her use of realistic settings for tales that often involve elements of horror and the occult.

 Raising Demons and Life Among the Savages are her two works of nonfiction. Come Along With Me is a collection of stories, lectures, and part of the novel she was working on when she died in 1965.

I personally really love the design and layout of this copy, almost like a hastily strewn together journal with ragged page edges and a sketch like cover art, smaller than expected or rather thinner but Shirley Jackson is a magnificent author and with its dark and quirky storyline and unique characters it’s quickly becoming one of my favourite short reads
