A lot of reviews I've read for this book are quite negative and absolutely everyone is entitles to their own opinion, but for me- this book was just amazing!

I loved the weirdness that ran all the way through, from the dodgy characters to the personification of evil house. At one point, towards the start, the book talks about how evil the house was and the sentence was so chilling that I had to stop for a second and read it to the person next to me. I'm also a huge fan of unreliable narrators so this book was brilliant!

I'm desperate to read more Shirley Jackson now, particularly We Have Always Lived In The Castle.
