On the sophomoric episode of Sect of the Weird, we throw out all previously-established conventions and enjoy the company of a mysterious guest, all in aid of getting to the heart of one of the most enigmatic voices in horror: Shirley Jackson, author of The Haunting of Hill House and "The Lottery". By the end, our host won't be quite so comfortable in his warm study as he once was...
As always thanks to Arthel Hayes for her patience, dedication to, and talent at portraying the mythical "Margaret" and for providing the bookending quotes for today's episode. Those quotes are taken from Shirley Jackson's "A Lovely House/A Visit (for Dylan Thomas)" and aforementioned ...Hill House, listed here in the order they appear.
