COME ALONG WITH ME brings the reader the hypnotic best of Shirley Jackson. Here, in her last book, are not-quite-ordinary people suddenly plunged into the world of the sinister and supernatural - a young woman fleeing from terror in a country house, an elderly couple marooned in the winter of human evil, a runaway girl who returns home to face the horrifying "impossible". Here is spinechilling fiction that will hold any reader entranced from the first mystifying page to the last.
Shirley Jackson was one of the most brilliant writers of her time, widely acclaimed for her hair-raising stories and novels, Come Along With Me, published posthumously, is indeed her crowning achievement:
