#the haunting of hill house by shirley jackson

[cosmichorrorlesbians]

I really love that we never find out where Hill House actually is, geographically. its space is purely relational; far from the big city, across streams and along winding roads with country tearooms. it turns the house into less of a physical space than a mythical one. you too could find Hill House. pick a road, and start driving, and it will unwind before you, taking you there.

literally all i could think while watching lottie in this episode was eleanor vance

is the whole novel not just like the house? scenes that cut abruptly and leave you off balance, passages that twist into places that get you a little lost; much like the house always slightly tilted and put together just well enough to leave you uneasy and uncertain. or, i suppose, eleanor's mind ended up like that. we just got to see like how the others did

Pride Prints! (no watermark on Inprnt)

ok the last one isn’t exactly Pride but it is ironic and has the tagline of Aliens 1979 with a bisexual colored background.

Here’s to the people who read The Haunting of Hill House, The Exorcist, and watched Dracula’s Daughter.
