"The Lovely House" by Shirley Jackson | Existential Dread | Last Gasp of the Gothic
Update: 2025-09-25
Description
Renowned author of mystery and gothic horror Shirley Jackson weaves a dreamlike tale of doublings, echoes, and (in the words of ST Joshi) "exemplifies the 'quiet weird tale' at its pinnacle".
Published in 1950, the story follows Margaret who visits her friend Carla's country estate for the holidays. Will she ever leave? Has she always been there?
