Ella Terrance The book is great, very intense. The author is Shirley Jackson (who Shirley in the series is named for) and was a finalist for the National Book Award and is considered one of the best literary ghost stories published in the 20th century
Haven’t read the book, but I recently binge watched the series on Netflix. Not my usual genre, but I adore me some good characters, and I found the family captivating.
Ive read mixed reviews, what did you think? I’d like to give it a try
@Lynn I loved the book but the end shocked me
@Aya I must give it a try then!
Yes it’s good
I want to read it. Did you like it?
@Ni liked it but not the end.. But the book delivers a great idea and put you in the mood of horror..
Very informative. So far finished around 300 pages. The chapter about capitalism is really interesting. Am sure you will like it. Thank you.?
I loved it. Very well written, it totally creeped me out!
I enjoyed it. Pleasantly chilling.

@Ella , the series is not the same, the charcters have the same names, but in the book they are not related and didn’t grow up in the house

I thought it was good, but Shirley Jackson’s other book, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is phenomenal.
@Anna I love that book, was trying to think what book to get my niece for Christmas, think I’ll get her that
I read it years ago. It’s one of the reasons I don’t read horror anymore.
@Sue yes it’s frightening
I’m reading it right now ?
Favorite. Book. Ever. Rhys
I loved it!
Years ago.

@Lisa The book is very different, the characters are not related, just have the same names as in the series
Ohhh, alright. Thank you for explaining this to me. I might have to get around to reading it sometime in the future. 🙂
Great Book!
