Shirley Jackson's most famous work is THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, but is it actually her best or does her final published novel before her death surpass it? In episode 396 join writer Luke Elliott & filmmaker James Bailey as they revel in some truly great sentences, wonder how reliable Merricat is as the narrator, try to understand Constance's behavior, and ponder the possibility that someone in this book might not be what they seem. Join them next week when they watch the adaptation and vote for which one is ultimately better!
