We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

Shirley Jackson’s beloved gothic tale of a peculiar girl named Merricat and her family’s dark secret

Taking readers deep into a labyrinth of dark neurosis, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate.

Read my review on my blog here: https://theconsultingbookworm.wordpress.com/2014/11/30/we-have-always-lived-in-the-castle-shirley-jackson/

Laughing so hard at everyone in the reviews not understanding that Merricat has magical thinking OCD, while everyone who is familiar with OCD is clearly writing reviews of this book from that viewpoint. An unintentional OCD book for me, lol. Had no idea that was going to be part of the book.

Weird and spooky and eerie. Just my kind of quick book. Just watched the movie after finishing and while i did like it i did not like that they gave her a spell book in it lol, she was not a wannabe witch. Also they botched the ending. Book is better than movie.
