Sometimes the greatest horror is actually real life.
We have always lived in the castle was jackson’s final novel, published three years before her death, and tells the story of two sisters, mary katherine (merricat) and constance blackwood, who live with their aging and infirm uncle julian in their isolated home in new england. We have always lived in the castle is very reminiscent of jackson’s short story “the lottery” in its themes of mob mentality. We have always lived in the castle, shirley jackson. I recently read and enjoyed holding up the universe.
