A review by njdarkish
The Road Through the Wall by Shirley Jackson

3.0

Though the end of the novel definitely is in line with Jackson's sinister genius, most of the book felt fairly aimless, and featured a large cast that was very difficult to keep straight. The ending was definitely a gut-punch, though. You can see how Jackson's incredible later novels followed after this debut, so it's worth picking up if you enjoy seeing how a master develops over time.
