Reviews"A marvelous elucidation of life...a story full of craft and full of mystery" -- The New York Times Book Review "A witch's brew of eerie power and startling novelty" -- The New York Times, "A marvelous elucidation of life...a story full of craft and full of mystery" -- The New York Times Book Review "A witch's brew of eerie power and startling novelty" -- The New York Times "I was thrilled by the genuine but meaningful strangeness of Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle ." --George Saunders "Jackson's novel is so wonderfully creepy that students usually feel subversive just for reading it. Add to that one of the most brilliantly realized unreliable narrators in fiction and the book becomes irresistible." --Marlon James, "A marvelous elucidation of life...a story full of craft and full of mystery" -- The New York Times Book Review "A witch's brew of eerie power and startling novelty" -- The New York Times "I was thrilled by the genuine but meaningful strangeness of Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle ." -- George Saunders

  • Terrific book to read

    I have always been a fan of the haunting of hill house and this is just as good! It’s a strange tail but keeps you reading until the very end. I like this penguin book because it has a built-in page marker!
