Shirley Jackson - The Story We Used To Tell & The Good Wife

[@wutienlu8196]

I have enjoyed your readings very much. Clear enunciation, natural, no exagerations, not dull at all… everything conveyed correctly… can’t ask for more. Thank you!

[@StoryVoracious]

Exorcising her demons. Great stories. Short and impactful. Sometimes a pen is the only weapon we can use. Thanks for posting this.

[@jeanettesdaughter]

The demon marraige and family. The demon failure to communicate. The demons threat and confinement. The demon mother! The demon mediocrity. Maddening domesticity.

I love Shirley Jackson. Thank you Windy, you definitely chose the best stories to narrate & you do them so well 👏🏼

[@jared1870]

Great start to my favorite month. That second story was especially creepy, but that is Shirley Jackson's specialty. Thanks!

I remember being in Junior High and the writer of the week was Jackson, her short stories being offered to us in a pamphlet = Our teacher said thusly, "anyway read these stories - they're weird!. I had been familiar with her work for some years, but couldn't resist saying to the teacher at her desk: "when you read these stories, you wonder whether she was weird in "real life" to which she replied "yeah, really - I know!"...

No one is creepier than Shirley. I havent heard either of these and they are horrible. Thankyou! 4:42 am, perfect time for Windy

[@nancyelliott3653]

Shirley Jackson had a very strange imagination didn't she?!... Loved the stories and as always Mr. Windy Nights!

[@trishbirchard1270]

I have never heard these stories before and I thought I had read and reread EVERYTHING she ever wrote ; wow , thanks , your voice is perfect , I hope you keep it up , what a swoony way to spend an insomniac morning - 🎃🐾💛🌕🌓🎃✨

[@WindyNightStories]

Thank you!

[@susiehawes8966]

Love me some Shirley Jackson!

[@rneustel388]

Thanks for sharing these stories that I hadn’t heard before!

[@WindyNightStories]

Thanks for listening! Jackson's darker short stories deserve to be better known!

[@rosemarycornwall5162]

I loved the first one but need a re-listen of the 2nd one . Love these stories, thank you.

[@maj0rsquish]

sometimes I really wonder about Shirley Jacksons mental health. her stories are always so disturbing ominous. but then she was the prolific writer

[@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz]

Ha. In a great way. But… maybe a leeeedle bit, yeah. Sometimes it might have been a tad frightening to be her husband. Like the story with the ashtray.

[@StalinLovsMsmZioglowfagz]

Same with the husband in the Good Wife, which is obviously just her. She’d keep it interesting though. In a terrifying way.

[@Paxtonparsnip]

She certainly wouldn’t have been my first choice for a babysitter….

[@jadesidhe2634]

Her day job was articles for women's magazine's and she hated it there's a great video about her on KZbin

[@trishbirchard1270]

Heard this before and it frightened me witless but have to go out soon to “ work” and face it so quickly need a little dark departure, thank you, as always!

[@SilverCrystal216]

Love your channel, especially the obscure stories. Will you ever get merch? I would love to see that moon logo on a t-shirt.

[@WindyNightStories]

Thank you so much! No plans for any kind of merchandise right now

[@calliesoutherland9435]

Thank you.

[@deegeraghty9426]

Do not understand ending to 2nd story. Bizarre tale

[@rachael7060]

The husband in The Good Wife is mentally disturbed!!!😢

[@jenniferharris61]

Ahhh! The husband is crazy and kidnapped is own wife. 😢

[@TreeLuvBurdpu]

The woman's name is Why? Or the guy just pronounces the name wrong?

[@WindyNightStories]

In the text it's "Y"

[@creative2716]

Could be short for Wynona or Yolanda or many others.

[@-Reagan]

NOOO You changed your intro! Why?? I hope this was only for the time being 🤞 the old one gave me such a cozy and comfortable feeling! Edit: I have checked the date of this video and, somehow it’s one I missed 😅 but, I know I have seen more recent videos with my favorite intro safely intact, so my apologies! ❤

[@deborahmcgee7970]

I must be thick as a blank I don’t get the ending to either story 😊

[@WindyNightStories]

She tends to leave her stories kind of open ended in terms of meaning.

[@deborahmcgee7970]

@@WindyNightStories Thanks for answering me 👍love your story’s look forward to them 💐

[@rosemarycornwall5162]

Deborah Mcgee - I've always said 'as thick as a plank' (as I've been called it more than once!).
