4.0

The digital edition I read contained an "introduction" by someone else, which was no intro but rather a personal dissertation on the author and a review of the book with spoilers. This individual even claimed to know Ms. Jackson's meaning and intent better than Ms. Jackson herself. 🤦🏻

Needless to say, the book itself is a wonderful work of Gothic fiction, but give the presumptuous "intro" a pass if your edition contains it.
