Shirley Jackson is the American author, who composed significant scary fiction with inner profundity, and cyclical tropes to enlarge the Perseus’s view of the real world and life. She shook the limits of what’s genuine. Her composition demonstrates an overabundance, an abundance that spills from the domains or reality and adventures beyond reality.

Recently, her novel, The Haunting of Hill House was rethought into a Netflix TV show, and it won (and terrified) the hell out of the considerable number of hearts. Here are a few pearls from The Haunting and some of her other works.

"When shall  we live if not  now?"

#2.

"If you don't like my peaches, don't shake my tree."

#3.

"Journeys end in lovers meeting."

#4.

"Poor strangers, they have so much to be afraid of."

#5.

"We have grown to trust blindly in our senses of balance and reason, and I can see where the mind might fight wildly to preserve its own familiar stable patterns against all evidence that it was leaning sideways."

"No live organism can continue for long  to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality."

"A pretty sight, a lady with a book."

#19.

"In the country of the story the writer is king."

"Am I walking toward something I should be running away from?"

#21.

"I delight in what I fear."
