Goodreads Quote of the Day for Wednesday
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.
So begins the opening paragraph of The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson (born 100 years ago today on December 14, 1916), an American writer known for her short stories and novels about the supernatural. A Finalist for the National Book Award, The Haunting of Hill House is considered by many, including Stephen King, to be among the 20th century’s most important horror novels. Jackson is also known for her classic horror tale The Lottery, first published in The New Yorker in 1948.
