I read “We Have Always Lived in the Castle” recently. Creepy!

I agree about “The Haunting of Hill House,” but sad the author has to weave some kind of feminist slant into the diner scene (which, sadly, wasn’t included in the film). Eleanor’s observation could apply to either sex.

BBC's short film adaptation of "The Lottery".

“Impatiently the woman waits for her fiance to arrive, drinking cups of coffee and obsessing over trivia...and at last it becomes clear that the fiance is a no-show. The woman, who does not know where he lives...”

The woman, who does not know where her fiance lives, is too stupid to be tolerated, let alone the subject of a story.

Yeah, "The Lottery" is a pretty strange story, but my vote for all-time weirdest story is Conrad Aiken's "Silent Snow, Secret Snow."

Harvey's "August Heat" ain't bad either.
