literally the ONLY follow up to shirley jackson's haunting of hill house i will stand for (aside from maybe the mabel podcast). e.m. carroll understands EXACTLY what makes a gothic story interesting, and does not shy away from the psychosexual lesbianism that comes with it. i photocopied the kiss spread yeah you know the one you KNOW at the library because it made me so crazy i need to look at it every day. i don't even want to talk about this book too much just go read it happy pride month
