'Her greatest book ... at once whimsical and harrowing, a
miniaturist's charmingly detailed fantasy sketched inside a
mausoleum ... the deeper we sink, the deeper we want to go' Donna
Tartt Living in the Blackwood family home with only her sister
Constance and her Uncle Julian for company, Merricat just wants to
preserve their delicate way of life. But ever since Constance was
acquitted of murdering the rest of the family, the world isn't
leaving the Blackwoods alone. And when Cousin Charles arrives,
armed with overtures of friendship and a desperate need to get into
the safe, Merricat must do everything in her power to protect the
remaining family. With an afterword by Joyce Carol Oates 'The world
of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... She is a true
master' A. M. Homes 'A masterpiece of Gothic suspense' Joyce Carol
Oates 'If you haven't read We Have Always Lived in the Castle ...
you have missed out on something marvellous' Neil Gaiman
