Shirley for Halloween

Re-reading Shirley Jackson's Haunting of Hill House was fun. I remember her from university and wanted to revisit something so I picked up HH. It has a smooth simple flow. She writes quite lovingly about allowing intuition to find one's destiny. The book has a strong lesbian element which I don't recall from my first reading. I like how the protagonist evolves through the story from a timid mouse to someone comfortable with life and death. Good read. It may inspire me to pick up We Have Always Lived in the Castle next.
