Thank you so much for reading MSW! The book that we edited on Shirley Jackson is a collection of academic essays called Shirley Jackson, Influences and Confluences. It looks at not only what influenced her writing but also how her work influenced others. There's an essay that looks at FUN HOME as a queer Gothic text, for instance, and another that connects SJ to modern horror films like Stoker (which is so wonderful). That latter one is from the scholar Bernice Murphy, who does a lot of SJ scholarship. -LK
