“A marvelous elucidation of life…a story full of craft and full of
mystery” —The New York Times Book Review“A witch’s brew of eerie
power and startling novelty” —The New York Times
“I was thrilled by the genuine but meaningful strangeness of
Shirley Jackson’s We Have Always Lived in the Castle.” —George
Saunders
“Jackson’s novel is so wonderfully creepy that students usually
feel subversive just for reading it. Add to that one of the most
brilliantly realized unreliable narrators in fiction and the book
becomes irresistible.” —Marlon James
