The 5-Hour Book Club - We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

The 5-Hour Book Club - We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson

A gothic classic, hauntingly strange and wickedly short! (about 3 hrs)

🏰 Two sisters. One crumbling house. A whole village that wants them gone.

Join the Inland Empire's short-form book club for sci-fi, fantasy, and horror fans as we discuss Shirley Jackson's darkly funny, deeply unsettling classic. Merricat Blackwood, her sister Constance, and Uncle Julian are all that's left of a family undone by one fatal evening. Shut away in their crumbling house and hated by the village, they're happy. Mostly.

Perfect for first-time book club attendees:
✨ A short, spooky-season classic from the author of The Haunting of Hill House
✨ One of the most unforgettable (and unreliable) narrators in literature
✨ Creepy, funny, and endlessly debatable without feeling like homework
✨ Haven't finished it? Come anyway, we'd still love to have you

📍 We'll be meeting at Panera Bread, so grab a bite or drink and join us as we dive in!
