About this book
Eighteen-year-old Merricat Blackwood lives with her gentle sister Constance and their ailing uncle in a grand house on the edge of a hostile village. Six years earlier, most of the family died at dinner; the survivors have been shunned ever since. Merricat keeps the household safe with buried talismans and private rituals until a cousin arrives and the fragile order begins to shift. Jackson's narrator is one of the most singular voices in American fiction: funny, feral and entirely persuasive. Short, elegant and unsettling rather than frightening, it can be read in a single absorbed sitting.
