The Missing Girl
Shirley Jackson was born in California in 1916. When her short story, 'The Lottery', was first published in the New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the most iconic American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. In addition to her dark, brilliant novels, she wrote lightly fictionalized magazine pieces about family life with her four children and her husband, the critic Stanley Edgar Hyman. Shirley Jackson died in 1965.

Als hun neef Charles arriveert wordt de situatie nog dreigender. Merricat is echter de enige die het gevaar inziet dat de komst van Charles met zich meebrengt, en ze moet snel handelen om haar overgebleven familieleden uit zijn greep te houden.'We hebben altijd in het kasteel gewoond' bevat een nawoord van Niña Weijers.
