kittoji's review against another edition

3.5

this was so interesting - stylistically it felt more like a theatre play than a novel. her settings are unmatched; a recipe that repeats and never fails, with ghosts, strange people, quietly unhinged women and a house, always a house

My favorite Shirley Jackson! The ending is very ambiguous which I love, and I would recommend it to anyone. I think the characters were all made amazingly
