We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

Title: We Have Always Lived in the Castle

Author: Shirley Jackson

Review:  The Blackwood sisters, Constance and Merricat, have always lived very happily with their Uncle Julian on the outskirts of their town, despite the unspeakable “incident” from several years ago that ostracized them from the wider community. The unexpected arrival of their cousin Charles, however, threatens to disrupt this peaceful balance… and Merricat has the oddest feeling that he has much darker intentions in mind. This is one of Shirley Jackson’s finest works, and the use of an unreliable narrator here is perfectly executed!
