We Have Always Lived In The Castle
"Shirley Jackson's best book....An unbelievable combination of terror and tenderness..." - LOUIS UNTERMEYER
"The miracle is wrought by Shirley Jackson, God bless her, as ever unparalleled, more than ever in...We Have Always Lived in the Castle, as leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders....This novel brings back all my faith in terror and death. I can say no higher of it and her." - DOROTHY PARKER, Esquire
"[A] strange and haunting concoction, a witch's brew of eerie power and startling novelty . . . Most people will succumb at once to its dark enchantment." - ORVILLE PRESCOTT, The New York Times
"For more than two hundred pages of wonderfully controlled prose, she is able to maintain just this odd balance of wit and horror. The style alone should win the reader." - MAX STEELE, The New York Herald Tribune
"A marvelous elucidation of life in the ageless form of a story full of craft and full of mystery." - CHAD HASSAN, The New York Times Book Review
