On my latest “Looking Back on Genre History” segment on the #StarShipSofa podcast (Episode 760), I discuss the new book On Edge: #Gender and #Genre in the Work of #ShirleyJackson, #PatriciaHighsmith, and #LeighBrackett by #AshleyLawson.

Robert Wise's The Haunting (1963) is an object lesson in how to do subtle horror and it's one of the great haunted house movies. Superbly atmospheric and ambiguous. Much better than Shirley Jackson's overrated source novel.
