Not at all what I expected (but then I don't really know what I expected) but well worth getting hold of. I am going to have to go on a Shirley Jackson library hunt tomorrow!

I don't like horror books, but this uneasy, gothic-inspired, very clever novel is one of my favourites. I agree with everything you say, especially about the control Jackson has over the narrator and the readers' changing response to her.

It unsettled me in a creepy after-taste kind of way where things don't jump out at you in the sense of scary novels/movies, but in a way that seeps into your mind when you're in the dark, waiting to fall asleep.
