A Haunted House

Inspired to read, A Haunted House by Nan’s review last week, I dove into my collection of Virginia Woolf’s short fiction for this week's installment of Short Story Monday. It wasn’t a very deep dive since A Haunted House isn’t even two full pages long. It is however, Woolf’s distinct “stream of consciousness” style. The reader moves along with both couples, living and dead, as they search and go about there day. I love the end. A Haunted House isn’t a scary ghost story. It’s sweet, with just a touch of creepy. It’s perfect for a Woolf lover or a Woolf beginner.

I've never been a big fan of stream-of-consciousness. However, I think I could handle it in the smaller dose of a short story than in a novel.
ReplyDeleteDid you read JoAnn's Short Story Monday post? Apparently Woolf was jealous of her author's writing.
I have it printed ou to read but haven't gotten to it yet. It is nice and short.
ReplyDeleteI read this after Nan's review, too. Glad you liked it.

ReplyDeleteI did read JoAnn's review. I thought it was really interesting. I've already found an online copy of The Doll's House and hope to read it soon.
ReplyDeleteWoolf's style can be difficult. I had a hard time when I read Mrs. Dalloway (I don't even remember what happens), but I really liked Orlando.
