Title: We Have Always Lived In The Castle Author: Shirley Jackson Genre: YA/Horror Pages: 146 Rating: 5 stars Synopsis: My name is Mary Katherine Blackwood. I am 18 years old, and I live with my sister Constance.

I dislike washing myself, and dogs, and noise. I like my sister Constance, and Richard Plantagnet, and Amanita Phalloides , the death cap mushroom. Everyone else in my family is dead. My thoughts on the book: This was a fast and easy read and I actually really liked this one. I can see why it's a classic! T...
