Haunting of Hill House was one of the few horror novels to actually scare me to "sleep with lights on" levels as a kid. What a gem.

I just got a very old copy of that (probably from one of the first runs, but I'm actually not home to check rn) from a Little Free Library box a few days ago. Can't believe someone didn't want that.I actually went back and re-read We Have Always Lived At The Castle yesterday after mentioning it here. So good.
You really think I'm like Emmeline Grangerford! My heart, I'm overjoyed!!! She's not Virginia Poe, but she's certainly one of my Opheliac muses.
Eta: as of time of writing, I have still decided against taking my sickstagram to the public eye. Life as an influencer, I've learned, is more than I can digest at present, and indeed into the foreseeable future.

May I mention a fun ass B film that was likely very influenced by Shirley's amazing literacy?: Spider Baby.
That's how influencers influence.
You'd have better success as a camgirl, especially if you let kiwifarms have a premium membership to your channel.

I think a movie, not a Netflix show. Sebastian Stan's gonna play the uncle.Aren't they making a netflix show out of that one too? I was lukewarm on the Hill House one. It was a very good show and very scary and entertaining but also it was so loosely acquainted with Jackson's story I felt it was ridiculous to say it was based on it.
You’re going to have to be more specific, lest you accidentally inspire the moo. Which parts are your favorite?Well this thread is the best thing I've come across in awhile. Hot damn
The parts where she talks like a pseudointellectual while dying of a disease that's so severe, it doesn't show up on any tests. Also the parts where she then talks about wanting to be sick while still claiming to be sooper sick.You’re going to have to be more specific, lest you accidentally inspire the moo.

Oh, and the sick room. That's my fav.
No cars in the Victorian era.FTFY, but yeah, the sickroom was something else... and the “I’ve been told by doctors I don’t have this chronic autoimmune condition, but I totally have it and my achy joints and slightly elevated but still normal temperature suggest that I’m dying tragically and poetically (and not that I’m a lazy bitch whose joints ache because I’m out of shape and don’t use them).”
EDIT: man... this plain dumpy bitch’s name is Carrie and she could be writing long fanfics about herself flipping cars and blowing up buildings with telekinesis and she chooses to lie around and abuse her thesaurus like Goddess Mike abused Julay... damn what a wasted opportunity
If she were being poisoned with arsenic by the pedo hubby, this would become my new favorite thread.@Christine Milneaux
Imitating an era were women and sexuality were repressed (yet the the Victorians were notoriously kinky) reflects your struggles with embracing your sexuality and your failed ambitions. You wanted to go to a proper college when you left high school but you were not good enough and/or your husband 'has his career here' or has otherwise convinced you not to further your education. You use your fantasy as a way to cope with a toxic codependent marriage. Maybe you are genuinely sick- but that is a result of your husband slowly poisoning you with arsenic. He is fuelling and enabling your daddy issues while fulfilling his loli/little fetish.
Going from home to marriage with a man who is more physically and emotionally mature than you has robbed you of any life experiences and achievements you could have had and you secretly resent him for that. You could have gone to a proper state college instead of a shitty community college which has nurtured you superiority (inferiority) complex. You still secretly lust after fame and to achieve something great on your own, but you are stuck in a loveless marriage (how very Victorian!) . Ultimately you are afraid of leaving because your mum and everyone who tried to talk you out of it would say 'I told you so'. Plus it would be 10 years down the drain and you have never worked a day in your life. It would also ruin the fantasy of being married to your first love.
It was mentioned somewhere that he was a virgin when you met. Even though he is a 2/10 by Middle Earth standards, I somehow call bullshit.
Being the talk of the town on KF is not an achievement. However you have potential to snap out of your delusions and your abusive relationship.
Am I wrong? FIGHT ME!!
EDIT: @Christine Milneaux I know you're online sweetheart. Your silence doth speakth volumes
I'm late and replying to your comment, not this one, but I'm lazy at the moment, about the Hill House Netflix series. I was really impressed with the structure of the series and the story arcs. It had nearly nothing to do with Jackson's work, but it stood alone quite nicely. I heard they were thinking of making a second season. Now, that is a hard no for me.Haunting of Hill House was one of the few horror novels to actually scare me to "sleep with lights on" levels as a kid. What a gem.
