In the uproarious sequel to Life Among the Savages, the author of The Haunting of Hill House confronts the most vexing demons yet: her children In the long out-of-print sequel to Life Among the Savages, Jackson’s four children have grown from savages into full-fledged demons. After bursting the seams of their first house, Jackson’s clan moves into a larger home. Of course, the chaos simply moves with them. A confrontation with the IRS, Little League, trumpet lessons, and enough clutter to bury her alive—Jackson spins them all into an indelible reminder that every bit as thrilling as a murderous family in a haunted house is a happy family in a new home.

I don't like these books about her life and kids as much as I like her other books... she has chosen a very shattered way of telling, it's more short anecdotes with not much connection, and it's a bit hard to hang on to it.
It would pass well as a magazine serial.
I'd love it to be illustrated.

not as funny and beautifully written as the first one.
