We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson

My rating: 1.0

Merricat Blackwood lives on the family estate with her sister Constance and her Uncle Julian. Not long ago there were seven Blackwoods—until a fatal dose of arsenic found its way into the sugar bowl one terrible night. Acquitted of the murders, Constance has returned home, where Merricat protects her from the curiosity and hostility of the villagers.


This had a sense of being creepy, only in the strangeness of the family not fitting in with the townsfolk and feeling ostracized by the townsfolk. Other than that, this is just plain boring. Definitely don't waste your time.
