Mystery

Hangsaman

by Shirley Jackson

Seventeen-year-old Natalie Waite escapes her domineering writer father and long-suffering mother for college, only to find new forms of isolation and psychological disintegration. Loosely based on a real disappearance at Bennington College, Jackson crafts a haunting portrait of a young woman's fracturing mind and desperate search for identity.
