內容簡介
《從此,我們過著幸福快樂的日子》或譯《我們一直住在城堡裡》
 
日常如此美好,世界,如此扭曲雪莉.傑克森令人戰慄的最後一部作品!
 
那天,我被懲罰不准吃晚餐,只好帶著憤恨上床睡覺。 
沒想到,一覺醒來才發現,那竟也是爸媽最後一次處罰我……
 
一棟高聳參天、遺世獨立的城堡 
一對相依為命的姐妹,與一隻會說話的貓 
幸福快樂地活在只有彼此知道的祕密裡…… 
 
一場中毒意外,讓瑪莉喵和姊姊成了孤兒。即使昔日滿屋子的人皆成幽魂,這對姊妹仍然不願離開她們的城堡……因為,外面那些人比鬼魂更可怕。 
 
他們懷疑姊姊是兇手,覬覦這對姊妹的龐大家產,卻也對她們不為人知的黑暗面深深畏懼。從來不曾有人可以接近她們,直到這天,一個帶著善意的男人出現了,孤兒姊妹的家門即將被開啟…… 
 
雪莉.傑克森擅長描寫日常中荒謬疏離的片刻、人心最黑暗的想像,堪稱美國恐怖小說始祖。她的作品揭露了人們的內在暴力,也反映了日常生活的每個縫隙如何成為崩裂的起點。在《從此,我們過著幸福快樂的日子》裡面,她對於社會中階級、性別的深刻洞察力與描寫,令人一讀難忘,然而,這卻也是她遺留世界文壇的最後一本傑作。
 
Shirley Jacksonˊs beloved gothic tale of a peculiar girl named Merricat and her familyˊs dark secret
 
Taking readers deep into a labyrinth of dark neurosis, We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a deliciously unsettling novel about a perverse, isolated, and possibly murderous family and the struggle that ensues when a cousin arrives at their estate. This edition features a new introduction by Jonathan Lethem.
