A review by nikki_in_niagara
Hangsaman by Shirley Jackson
4.0
Hangsaman can mostly be called soft dark academia Divided into three sections, the first concerns Natalie's summer before she goes to college. The second is set at college and she finds an odd friend in the third. It's also a coming-of-age story for the seventeen-year-old.
I enjoyed this a lot. There was always something hanging in the air that something would happen. Often called horror it is very subtle like her other books I've read. I found Natalie to be an annoying creature and yet I was compelled to find out what she'd do next. My second favourite by the author. (First is "We Have Always Lived in the Castle.)
