Shirley Jackson, We Have Always Lived In The Castle



A nice slice of chilling American Gothic centring on a reclusive oddball aristocratic family imprisoned in their stately pile following a hideous poisoning. Really enjoyable, I was forever sneaking a few extra pages when I got a chance. We're off to the US on Wednesday, so have just started 'Gone With The Wind', the first few chapters of which are outrageous in their faux-nostalgia and blinkered view of the antebellum south. Let's see how it continues. . .
