Su invito del professor Montague, intenzionato ad indagare e catalogare i fenomeni dentro la sinistra Hill House, tre giovani, scelti non a caso, si ritrovano a coesistere per una settimana nell'oscura dimora. Eleanor, giovane infelice, quando era molto piccola, è stata protagonista di una manifestazione di un poltergeist; Theodora è in possesso di facoltà incredibili, che vanno dalla premonizione alla telepatia; Luke nipote della vecchia proprietaria di Hill House è incaricato di rappresentare la famiglia Sanderson durante l'esperimento.

La diciottenne Mary Katherine ci racconta della grande casa dove vive reclusa con la bella sorella Constance e lo zio invalido. Tutti gli altri membri della famiglia Blackwood sono morti avvelenati sei anni prima, seduti a tavola, proprio lì in sala da pranzo. E quando arriva il cugino Charles a rompere l'armonia, si snoda sotto i nostri occhi, con piccoli tocchi stregoneschi, una storia sottilmente perturbante che ha le ingannevoli caratteristiche formali di una commedia.

Pura e semplice descrizione della lotteria che si svolge nell'atmosfera pastorale, quasi idilliaca, di un villaggio del New England in un luminoso mattino di giugno - come ogni anno da tempo immemore.

Six years after four family members died of arsenic poisoning, the three remaining Blackwoods—elder, agoraphobic sister Constance; wheelchair-bound Uncle Julian; and 18-year-old Mary Katherine, or, Merricat—live together in pleasant isolation.

But one day a stranger arrives—cousin Charles, with his eye on the Blackwood fortune.

Four seekers have come to the ugly, abandoned old mansion: Dr. Montague, an occult scholar looking for solid evidence of the psychic phenomenon called haunting; Theodora, his lovely and lighthearted assistant; Eleanor, a lonely, homeless girl well acquainted with poltergeists; and Luke, the adventurous future heir of Hill House.

Stories of magic, superstition, and witchcraft were strictly forbidden in the little town of Salem Village. But a group of young girls ignored those rules, spellbound by the tales told by a woman named Tituba.

In her celebrated fiction, Shirley Jackson explored the darkness lurking beneath the surface of small-town America. But in Life Among the Savages, she takes on the lighter side of small-town life. In this witty and warm memoir of her family's life in rural Vermont, she delightfully exposes a domestic side in cheerful contrast to her quietly terrifying fiction. With a novelist's gift for character, an unfailing maternal instinct, and her signature humor, Jackson turns everyday family experiences into brilliant adventures.
