''Her greatest book ... at once whimsical and harrowing, a miniaturist''s charmingly detailed fantasy sketched inside a mausoleum ... the deeper we sink, the deeper we want to go'' Donna Tartt

Living in the Blackwood family home with only her sister Constance and her Uncle Julian for company, Merricat just wants to preserve their delicate way of life. But ever since Constance was acquitted of murdering the rest of the family, the world isn''t leaving the Blackwoods alone. And when Cousin Charles arrives, armed with overtures of friendship and a desperate need to get into the safe, Merricat must do everything in her power to protect the remaining family.

With an afterword by Joyce Carol Oates

''The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... She is a true master'' A. M. Homes

''A masterpiece of Gothic suspense'' Joyce Carol Oates

''If you haven''t read We Have Always Lived in the Castle ... you have missed out on something marvellous'' Neil Gaiman

'Her greatest book ... at once whimsical and harrowing, a miniaturist's charmingly detailed fantasy sketched inside a mausoleum ... Through depths and depths and bloodwarm depths we fall, until the surface is only an eerie gleam high above, nearly forgotten; and the deeper we sink, the deeper we want to go.' - Donna Tartt

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Shirley Jackson

Shirley Jackson (1916–1965) é considerada uma das mais influentes escritoras norte-americanas. Herdeira da grande tradição do gótico americano, iniciada com Edgar Allan Poe, teve uma vida curta, deixando, porém, uma obra que a consolidou como uma das grandes personalidades literárias do século XX. Obteve imediato êxito e fama com a publicação, em 1948, do conto A Lotaria, que, à época, dividiu opiniões e suscitou acesas polémicas. Ao todo, escreveu cinquenta e cinco contos; e, da sua obra, destacam-se ainda as crónicas familiares Life Among the Savages e Raising Demons, bem como os romances The Sundial, A Maldição de Hill House, adaptado várias vezes para cinema e televisão, e Sempre Vivemos no Castelo, último livro da autora, publicado em 1962.
