Four classic novels of psychologically-driven horror from the author of The Haunting of Hill House include her 1948 debut tale of the secrets lurking beneath suburbia to the 1958 story of a mourning family convinced the world is ending .—Baker & Taylor



"The perfect companion to the recent attention Jackson's gotten with the film adaptation of We Have Always Lived in the Castle and Shirley, the biopic starring Elizabeth Moss, this is a compendium of early works by the understated master of cautionary tales about middle-class Postwar America. In this volume: The Road Through the Wall, Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, and The Sundial."—Submitted by Ryan S., Selector Librarian
