I love Shirley Jackson too!
One of my favorites of hers was Life Among the Savages/- her reminiscences of raising 4 children in VT.

Have you ever read The Sundial? It’s on my TBR list and looking forward to it.

Tartt and Jackson are also two of my favorites.

Novels with horror/magical realism/gothic elements have become really popular today but I still haven’t read anything that can come close to Jackson’s style of writing.

PP here. Just started The Sundial! I've been reading something by her every fall. I also loved Life Among the Savages. She does such a good job describing young children.
