Quite difficult to put these in a category. Eerie and strange, but also pretty entertaining.

She’s so good! Love Shirley Jackson, this is as twisty as a country road, or a quiet walk through the woods.

Three short stories that had the creepy and erie vibe that Shirley Jackson is known for. Interesting read although I felt they were too short to really sink into and appreciate in the way that I did with her novels (The Haunting of Hill House & We Have Always Lived in the Castle).
