Chilling and strange, better than either of the movies September 5, 2006
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
A classic example of horror that does not rely on pornographic gore and shock value for its chill-factor. Of the two movies that have been adapted from this book, the 1963 black-and-white version is a greater achievement of film-making, while the 1999 version is more visually stunning. Neither movie, however, can quite contain how weird and wonderful this book is. Shirley Jackson, queen of the not-quite-sane heroine, unfolds a quietly disturbing piece that makes the reader question how much of the weirdness is external and how much of it is inside the narrator's head. Excellent companion piece for We Have Always Lived In the Castle, which puts a different spin on the same unreliable narrator technique.
