My entire #vintage Shirley Jackson #paperback 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 #ShirleyJackson 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."

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.
