Oohhh this is so good and creepy: "is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate."
It is full of innuendo and foreshadowing that makes you want to keep reading even though you get a little knot in your stomach about what may happen, but certainly that is Jackson's purpose and strength, -loved it! The plot is simple, but mostly you don't get it till the end. You know some weird stuff happened, because the family is tormented by the villagers because of some history between them. Slowly the reader can guess or speculate what that event was, and whether or not the truth is being told or is it just figments of imagination on the part of the narrator, of memory or fantasy?
