![]() There are stories that end in murder or include a murder, but they still manage to be rather tame. These characters are the type of people you'd love to talk to in a café because they're fascinating, but you'd never invite into your home because they also give the impression that they're a hair's breadth away from losing their shit and stabbing you to death. It's not full on horror at all, but the stories are meant to give you the creeps and keep you a little on edge as you wait to see how they'll resolve. Every story in Revenge is about some slightly weird character in some slightly weird situation. The stories in Revenge have characters that give the same vibe, but the stories have more interesting plots and a more concise storytelling style than Jackson's works. ![]() ![]() One thing I like about Shirley Jackson is how she writes women who are just slightly off-center. This was like reading Shirley Jackson, but 100x better. ![]()
