'An amazing writer'  Neil GaimanElizabeth Richmond is almost too quiet to be believed, with no friends, no parents, and a job that leaves her strangely unnoticed. But soon she starts to behave in ways she can neither control nor understand, to the increasing horror of her doctor, and the humiliation of her self-centred aunt.\r\n\r\n As a tormented Elizabeth becomes two people, then three, then four, each wilder and more wicked than the last, a battle of wills threatens to destroy the girl and all who surround her. The Bird's Nest is a macabre journey into who we are, and how close we sometimes come to the brink of madness.    Shirley Jackson's chilling tales of creeping unease and casual cruelty  have the power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other.\r\n\r\n She 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 five more: 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.\r\n\r\n Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48.    'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... It is a place where things are not what they seem  even on a morning that is sunny and clear there is always the threat of darkness looming, of things taking a turn for the worse' - A.\r\n\r\n M. Homes  Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders' - Dorothy Parker  'Shirley Jackson is one of those highly idiosyncratic, inimitable writers ... whose work exerts an enduring spell' - Joyce Carol Oates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
