核心要点
The Girl Who Liked Poisonous Mushrooms
Six years ago, the Blackwood family sat down to dinner. Only three survived. Now, eighteen-year-old Mary Katherine lives with her sister Constance in their ancestral home, venturing into the hostile village twice weekly for supplies while enduring whispered accusations and children's cruel rhymes about poisoned tea. What unfolds is not a simple tale of family tragedy, but a masterwork of psychological horror that asks unsettling questions: What happens when the world decides you're guilty? When isolation becomes not punishment but sanctuary? When the price of protection is silence about unspeakable truth? Shirley Jackson's final novel operates like a music box wound too tight-beautiful, intricate, and dangerous. Through Merricat's distinctive voice, we enter a world where deadly nightshade grows in the garden, where buried treasures form magical protection, and where the greatest threat isn't the past but the possibility of change.
