Come Along With Me by Shirley Jackson

5.0

Well, um, I'm in love with Shirley Jackson now. So that happened. She caught my eye with The Lottery, entranced me with We Have Always Lived in the Castle, and this collection sealed the deal.

This collection (though more of a hodgepodge than anything else) was delightfully dark, funny, and wry. My favorite was the sadly unfinished Come Along With Me, whose narrator was hilarious in her offhand way of going through life, but the others were great as well, ranging from creepy to funny to sad.
