It is a longing so intense that it creates what it desires, it cannot endure any touch of correction; it is, as I say, unspeakable.

i left out the road through the wall because it doesn't really have any single main protagonist. and i know orianna isn't really the only female protag in the sundial but she is my favorite of its main women and this is my poll lol

#shirley jackson #we have always lived in the castle #the haunting of hill house #hangsaman #the sundial #the bird's nest #im betting eleanor or mary katherine will win just based on source material popularity but we shall see #polls

''The sight of one's own heart is degrading; people are not meant to look inward -- that's why they've been given bodies, to hide their souls.''

It is unholy because it is heretic. It is foul. It is abominable to need something so badly that you cannot picture living without it. It is a contradiction to the condition of mankind.

Shirley Jackson, excerpt from The Sundial

The sight of one’s own heart is degrading; people are not meant to look inward— that’s why they’ve been given bodies, to hide their souls.

there’s something in the water lately with film/tv adaptations of my favorite books being announced so I’m speaking it into existence. we will be getting news about a Sundial movie before the end of the year. maybe even before the end of the summer! the director and cast are going to be perfect. manifesting 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
