Sick of my Shirley Jackson obsession yet? TOO BAD.

-I am the proud owner of a rare vintage paperback of WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE that has a golden cat on it.

-Now I am also the proud owner of the golden version of THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE.

LOOK AT THEM FINALLY TOGETHER, OMG 😭😍

My entire Shirley Jackson collection. The Popular Library with the fancy font (& art by William Teason, I think) is the series I had been missing one from, UNTIL NOW. The others are miscellaneous vintage paperbacks I've collected, including two rare ones (The Corgi HILL HOUSE & the golden cat CASTLE one.)

@werewolfapologist I’m reading “The Birds Nest,” which is the first novel which hasn’t completely grabbed me, tho it’s picking up a little.

"It is most agreeable to be a writer of fiction for several reasons—one of the most important being, of course, that you can persuade people that it is really work if you look haggard enough."

Shirley Jackson, "Experience & Fiction"

(This has become my career credo, btw.)

@savvykenya

Did you read the book by any chance? I read it after watching the series (which I usually prefer not to do).

Though I do like Shirley Jackson and enjoyed the book, in this case, I actually preferred the show.

Maybe because the characters were modernized and more relatable? Not sure, but really well-executed adaptation.

I’m happy to say that my “Teaching Shirley Jackson’s (1951)” post, based on my experience of teaching in my graduate course in Fall ‘22, is now online at Reading Shirley Jackson in the 21st Century.
