"Undeniably brilliant . . . superlative
entertainment; much the best book Shirley Jackson has written."
—New York Herald Tribune
"Shirley Jackson's best novel.... The Bird's Nest is
brilliant, swift, at times immensely funny, and alternately
frightening. Shirley Jackson's portrayal of a personality in
disintegration is masterful."
—Chicago Tribune
