The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson

5.0

Shirley Jackson is so good at writing lonely, weird women, which is my favorite kind of character in literature.

Also, I can't believe how queer/sapphic this book was!!! I've seen the Mike Flanagan adaptation, in which Theo is queer, but I wouldn't have though that they took that from the book. And Nell too! There's a scene where they almost confess their love to each other, only to be interrupted by a nightmarish vision of a heteronormative life.
