I'm still as obsessed with them as the first time I read the book

#i literally JUST finished hill house a few days ago and i already want to reread. Badly. it's sooo so so soo sooooooooo good <33333!!!!! #also completely enamored by shirley jackson's writing style i NEED to read everything she has written ever like right now.. #opening lines of ALL TIME btw 👆❗❗❗ #r.txt #the haunting of hill house #ALSO i've seen commentary videos on the tv show they made of hill house but from what i remember of it it's SO different from the book??? #i think they were all siblings in the show which is??????? like why would you change that part?? i love sibling relationships as much as the #next guy but i feel like the fact that none of them knew each other was such an essential part of the story like why would u change it.... #also eleanor was like. an entirely different character who was also already dead in the show i believe??? and dr. montague doesn't exist?? #hill house could've been really good as a show idk why they changed it up like that...like was the original story not interesting enough for #you or something?? WHO decided to make that change i just wanna talk 🤨

Familiar.

I recently read and loved the unsettling new novel A HAUNTING ON THE HILL by Elizabeth Hand.

Eleanor Vance should NOT have been at the club (she should have been at her little cottage with her white cat and her oleanders) (and her stone lions) (and her cup of stars)

#i'm rereading (re-listening) and i'm a mess #when a book is so good you're actively sad about how you didn't discover it earlier #the fact that you can't search this book without the goddam nnetflix series coming up first is a punishment against me personally #for my bad posts #the haunting of hill house #eleanor vance #shirley jackson

[sexting] no live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. Hill House, not sane, stood by itself against its hills, holding darkness within; it had stood for eighty years and might stand for eighty more. within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut; silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.

#this exact post exists for anatomy btw but other incredible paragraphs about haunted houses deserve their own imo #the haunting of hill house #i should have snagged someone to read this book w me bc currently i'm just going insane on my own #when the mimetic crisis hits the haunted house book..... ooh boy #hill house #ace txt

i love how instead of the here we are at this nice old house to start anew :) trope that has become such a horror cliche by now everyone who comes to the hill house is immediately like wow this place is so ugly and fucked up, i wonder how many murders took place in my bedroom and also if we get to meet dracula in person haha we might die horribly, am i right?

and they are right

#+ the following scene ... that's It. eleanor imagining theo and luke talking about her and feeling deep happiness. #only to realize there is no one there. and they have left her in the woods. #misty quigley #yellowjackets #edit* #web weaving #i haveeee to re-read the haunting of hill house. #but it genuinely scares me too much it needs to be an 8:30am commute book #i was sooo obsessed w it in high school i think i carried around a copy for like half of tenth grade

pspspps shirley jackson girlies (gender neutral). new page on ye olde neocities

#kaylee.txt #kaylee.html #went through my copy of hill house + typed out all the bits that i highlighted in pink (the lesbian highlighter color) #and also some various other bits and bobs about how dyke-coded shirley jacksons books are #not at all a comprehensive collection but this is a silly little webpage for fun not a dissertation so its fine

[magicoleanders]

one of my pet peeves with the way Shirley Jackson’s work is perceived in pop culture is when people is when people suggest Hill House or We Have Always Lived in the Castle as spooky season/fall/Halloween reads when they are so clearly a summer book and a spring book, respectively. does Eleanor saying “Time is beginning this morning in June” and Merricat saying “The sun was shining and the false glorious promises of spring were everywhere” mean nothing to you people??

#also if you want a good fall Shirley book Hangsaman is right there #the haunting of hill house #we have always lived in the castle #shirley jackson #eleanor vance #merricat blackwood
