Description
Shirley Jackson's chilling masterpiece, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, is a haunting tale of isolation, suspicion, and dark family secrets. Merricat Blackwood lives with her sister Constance and their ailing uncle in a grand, decaying estate-cut off from a hostile village that believes the family is cursed. As unsettling truths begin to unravel with the arrival of a distant cousin, Merricat's world teeters between eerie charm and psychological horror. With gothic undertones and Jackson's signature style of quiet dread, this novel is a brilliant exploration of madness, survival, and the fragile boundaries between reality and delusion. A modern classic of literary suspense, this story lingers long after the final page.
