October: We Have Always Lived in The Castle by Shirley Jackson

Get ready for spooky season with a good book from the creep queen herself-- Shirley Jackson! We have Always Lived In The Castle is an atmospheric mystery about a weird reclusive family.

Note: I wouldn't describe this book as "horror" the way her other famous book, "The Haunting of Hill House", is horror. It is definitely eerie and dark though!

Goodreads synopsis:
"Shirley Jackson's beloved gothic tale of a peculiar girl named Merricat and her family's dark secret.

Taking readers deep into a labyrinth of dark neurosis, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate."
