5.0

Jackson’s prose is so lovely even though she tackles dark events and actions. This novel harkens back to her classic short sorry ‘The Lottery’ and I thoroughly enjoyed the extended illustration of societal demise within the world of the Blackwoods. I first watched the movie adaptation of ‘Castle’ and am obsessed with the casting choices and with how closely the 2 follow each other. Shirley Jackson is really a treasure and I can’t wait to read the rest of her catalogue.
