I haven't read The Haunting of Hill House, but it's always been a favorite "spooky movie". The original, that is. I thought the remake in the 2000's was execreble.
I picked up “We Have Always Lived in the Castle” at the library. Deliciously spooky, I loved it.

‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’
I have read it every YEAR since I was in High School. OMG! It’s an amazing MASTERPIECE that I will never, EVER forget. If they make it into a movie, I will kill myself, LOL!
‘The Haunting of Hill House’ is also a classic - they made it into a movie and it was...BLECH!
Shirley Jackson was an author that I found by accident. When I was in High School, I would go to our local Library, hit the Adult Fiction *GASP* racks and pick a book off of each shelf, alphabetically.
Jackson’s short stories (The Lottery) are simply amazing and jaw-dropping! ANY of them - they’re ALL jewels.
I found SO many amazing Authors that way, from Atwood to Baldwin to Heller to Jackson to O’Hara to Vonnegut.
Do you remember the 2 books about a family, written from the mom’s perspective?
One was called “Life Among the Savages”
I watched the Haunting of Hill House as a child when it first came on tv. We had a black and white tv at the time too. So scary. I think I watch it at least once a year. Several years ago, the local Playhouse did a live Halloween show with it. The place was packed, and everyone in the audience new all the lines! It was a fun experience!
We always lived in a castle? I can’t believe I never heard of it! Yahoo! Getting it on Amazon maybe tonight!
