Our Take
Merricat Blackwood narrates her poisoned, ruined family's retreat from the world with a bright cheerfulness that is the most unsettling voice in American fiction. Jackson makes domestic horror feel like home. By the end of the novel you are living in the castle with her and you do not want to leave.
