In The Sundial Shirley Jackson, author of We Have Always Lived in the Castle, blends family politics and
apocalyptic terror to create a disturbing world of sinister relations
and the macabre.''An amazing writer''
Neil GaimanMrs Halloran has inherited the great Halloran house on the death of her son, much to the disgust of her daughter-in-law, the delight of her wicked granddaughter and the confusion of the rest of the household. But when the original owner - long dead - arrives to announce the world is ending and only the house a...nd its occupants will be saved, they find themselves in a nightmare of strange marble statues, mysterious house guests and the beautiful, unsettling Halloran sundial which seems to be at the centre of it all. Shirley
Jackson''s chilling tales have the
power to unsettle and
terrify unlike any other. She was born in
California in 1916. When her
short story The Lottery was first published in The New Yorker

first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird''s Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48.''The
world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... It is a place
where things are not what they seem; even on a morning that is sunny and
clear there is always the threat of darkness looming, of things taking a
