Synopsis

90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

It’s terribly important that I get in touch with a gentleman who may have stopped in here to buy flowers this morning. Terribly important.

Sometimes, the person you think you love isn’t who they seem. And sometimes, you can be your own deception. Spanning Shirley Jackson's entire career, these devilish tales of love, death, and despair show us how all that keeps us safe in suburbia can strike up, leave, and instantly disappear.
