Description
Shirley Jackson's Hangsaman is a haunting tale of disorientation and unease, inspired by the real-life disappearance of a young woman. Natalie Waite, a teenager struggling to find her place in the world, senses a dark presence lurking in her life, which threatens to destroy her identity. As Natalie navigates the treacherous landscape of adolescence, she is confronted with the manipulations of intellectual men and the poisonous cliques that surround her. The lines between reality and nightmare begin to blur, leaving Natalie's sense of self crumbling. This Penguin edition includes a Foreword by Francine Prose, offering a deeper understanding of Jackson's masterful storytelling.
