Although her career and life were both uncommonly brief, Jackson’s output has endured and she is one of those rare writers whose work is held in high esteem by both literary critics and horror enthusiasts. “I think I have always been interested in Shirley Jackson,” says Sarah Gubbins, who adapted the screenplay for Shirley from a novel by Susan Scarf Merrell. “Somebody had asked me that question and I was…
