Excerpt from A Blind Bird's Nest Was as if a field of summer flowers had taken on human shape and begun to dance; and the music swayed them like a merry wind. The great schoolroom, as empty as a barn, was lit from above by lamps that hung amidst clumsy wreaths of green, so that the light fell down on the dancing children, in their bright dresses, with their long, floating hair. The simple music, the twinkling feet, the unshadowed rosy faces Of the little dancers, and the candid colouring Of their frocks, gave a fairylike look to the whole scene, combining in a harmony of gaiety that the amusements Of older people can never Show. Groups, composed Of parents, guardians, and governesses, had collected about the doorways to look on, whilst a few Of the younger women joined in the dances, exchanging laughing comments above the heads of their little partners, as they spun up and down the room. But the spectators were in a dull world of their own the real fim was with the children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Shirley Jackson's third novel, a chilling descent into multiple personalities Elizabeth is a demure twenty-three-year-old wiling her life away at a dull museum job, living with her neurotic aunt, and subsisting off her dead mother’s inheritance. When Elizabeth begins to suffer terrible migraines and backaches, her aunt takes her to the doctor, then to a psychiatrist. But slowly, and with Jackson’s characteristic chill, we learn that Elizabeth is not just one girl—but four separate, self-destructive personalities. The Bird’s Nest, Jackson’s third novel, develops hallmarks of the horror master’s most unsettling work: tormented heroines, riveting familial mysteries, and a disquieting vision inside the human mind.
