Eleanor Vance should NOT have been at the club (she should have been at her little cottage with her white cat and her oleanders) (and her stone lions) (and her cup of stars)

[image ID: a digital illustration of the character Eleanor Vance from The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson, depicted as a pale skinned woman with wild, twisting brown hair colored red by the off-cast light of a bright scarlet sweater. She is depicted in two figures, both ascending a pitch-black iron spiral staircase. The foreground is cloaked by oak leaves and acorns, which dangle upwards as though upside down, and in the background there’s a faint impression of an upside-down tree. Both figures of Eleanor have their heads angled to stare straight at the viewer with almost inhumanly wide eyes- her mouth isn’t visible on either figure. The leftmost figure is near the top of the stairs, climbing with her back mostly turned, while the right hand figure is just peeking up from around the curve at the bottom. The right hand eleanor holds a brandy snifter with one pinky extended- the left hand eleanor holds a white teacup adorned on the inside with scarlet stars. the coloring is chaotic and sketchy, with lots of hatching and scribbled lines giving it an erratic feeling. With the way the foliage hangs upside down around eleanor, it almost gives the impression that she’s walking down along the underside of the staircase, descending rather than ascending. END ID]

They can't turn me out or shut me out or laugh at me or hide from me; I won't go, and Hill House belongs to ME.

it's horrible, it's wicked

[magicoleanders]

one of my pet peeves with the way Shirley Jackson’s work is perceived in pop culture is when people is when people suggest Hill House or We Have Always Lived in the Castle as spooky season/fall/Halloween reads when they are so clearly a summer book and a spring book, respectively. does Eleanor saying “Time is beginning this morning in June” and Merricat saying “The sun was shining and the false glorious promises of spring were everywhere” mean nothing to you people??
