Surprised so many people wrote Amazon. Amazon has the lowest book prices because they are trying to become the leading bookseller and hope to put other bookstores out of business. Eventually, they could have a monopoly on books if they are successful and prices could rise. This will damage business for indie bookstores

it’s definitely a thing here and is on the spring menu of henriettas table

the story really does not center around the vet, but there are elements of animal cruelty so i’d avoid

The true story that this novel is based on that you mentioned, is that of Paula Jean Welden of Bennington College (Jackson lived in Bennington, VT). Interestingly, Donna Tartt’s novel, “The Secret History” is also based on the Paula Jean Welden disappearance and she went to college at Bennington. Both Tarrt and Jackson’s novels based on this true story are fantastic. Although I found Jackson’s much more chilling.

For northern hikes, Mount Major and Mount Monadnock in NH are very good, and less than 2 hours from Boston

Is Christophers still around??

I was completely blown away by Jackson’s writing when reading Haunting of Hill House. It then lead me to read every book she’s written. Her autobiographical compilation (Raising Demons) is also hilarious.
