  • Two unsettling little stories from Jackson, both very different, about women who are trapped.

    Exorcising her demons.
    Great stories. Short and impactful.
    Sometimes a pen is the only weapon we can use.
    Thanks for posting this.

      The demon marraige and family. The demon failure to communicate. The demons threat and confinement. The demon mother! The demon mediocrity. Maddening domesticity.

    I have enjoyed your readings very much. Clear enunciation, natural, no exagerations, not dull at all… everything conveyed correctly… can’t ask for more. Thank you!

    Great start to my favorite month. That second story was especially creepy, but that is Shirley Jackson's specialty. Thanks!

    I remember being in Junior High and the writer of the week was Jackson, her short stories being offered to us in a pamphlet = Our teacher said thusly, "anyway read these stories - they're weird!. I had been familiar with her work for some years, but couldn't resist saying to the teacher at her desk: "when you read these stories, you wonder whether she was weird in "real life" to which she replied "yeah, really - I know!"...

    sometimes I really wonder about Shirley Jacksons mental health. her stories are always so disturbing ominous. but then she was the prolific writer

      @StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz Před rokem

      Ha. In a great way. But… maybe a leeeedle bit, yeah. Sometimes it might have been a tad frightening to be her husband. Like the story with the ashtray.

    • @StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz
      @StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz Před rokem

      Same with the husband in the Good Wife, which is obviously just her. She’d keep it interesting though. In a terrifying way.

    NOOO You changed your intro! Why?? I hope this was only for the time being 🤞 the old one gave me such a cozy and comfortable feeling!
    Edit: I have checked the date of this video and, somehow it’s one I missed 😅 but, I know I have seen more recent videos with my favorite intro safely intact, so my apologies! ❤
