We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson: English covers
#we have always lived in the castle#shirley jackson#book covers#book#literature#I own the first one and I love it#almost gives you a claustrophobic feeling#but most of these slap so hard#I'm obsessed with the second one and Merricat wearing the table cloth#and the design of the Blackwood gate#the first on the third row was the original 1962 edition

at long last my attempt at collecting every single cover of hill house is live! 125+ covers, sortable by publishing date, language, and whether it's a movie/tv tie-in cover. if you know any more that aren't on here, leave a comment on the site so i can add them!
#kaylee.txt#kaylee.html#shirley jackson#the haunting of hill house#hill house#book covers#this was supposed to be just a quick little project and then it took. uh. like 2 months to finish lmao#maybe more than 2 months actually i think i started it before i moved
