The Haunting of Hill House
Having just finished The Haunting of Hill House I immediately picked up another of Shirley Jackson's books, The Birdcage.
I was captivated by Hill House, I was intrigued by the house itself. But now that I have finished the book I get the feeling that I was looking at a sort of jigsaw puzzle and that perhaps if I read it again and took careful notes I would put the pieces together. I keep having the sense that something happened that I completely missed, or perhaps partially missed. It's kind of like that house itself. Things happen, but you get only a glimpse of them, and an odd eerie sensation as you're walking away almost as if something is watching you. That's the way the book left me feeling.
At the end of the book she brings up things that she discussed on the drive up to the house, as if she were wrapping up a neat package.

Public Domain
There is an episode of The Twilight Zone that scares me so bad I can't watch it. It's called "Come Wander with me," and it's the last episode filmed. One of the things about this episode that sticks with me is that in the beginning, Floyd Burney, the traveling musician, tells a music store owner that if he gives his songs to most of the other musicians, the song will end up in the Public Domain.
Floyd Burney is in search of a tune. One that will make him rich and famous, more famous than he already is. He seems desperate to find that song that he believes exists somewhere in the heart or soul of some hillbilly in the region he is searching.
He wants rights to this music and will pay cash for it, he tells the man behind the counter. He warns the man that someone else will not pay him. But the man tells him, "there is nothing for you here."
I don't know why this episode scares me, or what it is about this idea of the music becoming public domain that fascinates me. My hunch is that the music or song represents someone's soul, and that this melody actually belongs in the public domain, and to try to own it is a crime against some aspect of humanity.
In the episode he essentially steals the song by stealing the heart and innocence of a young girl. The song was her essence. It was her sadness, her dreams and he stole them from her by tricking her into believing he loved her. She would have never sold her song for money, and he seemed to know that, so he tricked her to get it.
She could have never written her song for money. The only way she could have written it was for love. It was her essence, this song, and when he stole it she essentially died.
So what I am thinking is, with art, does it really always belong in the public domain, all of it? What is it we are selling, when we sell art?
It's just a thought. Of course we artists must eat. It's just a thought, and only one thought inspired by this truly strange, hypnotic episode.

Poetry
As I was perusing the free book sites I noticed there weren't many poetry categories. I guess people are not as interested in poetry. But Faulkner said, all of us who write novels are just failed poets. So there is and will always be a place for it, with or without vampires.
Free May 27- 30, a book of poetry. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CPVYH06
