- ... several printings and was purchased by "The Reader's Digest" for its condensed books. Four years later, under the title "The Haunting", it became a successful movie. Through the years, Miss Jackson had gained a great deal of weight. She had asthma and later, arthritis in the ends of her fingers. Worse yet, she had begun to suffer from attacks of anxiety. "Always a nervous and rather tense person, she was ... under the care of a psychiatrist. But even during the worst periods, she never stopped working; she used her typewriter as therapy-to write pages and pages of anything she pleased to unburden herself of depression into which she sank" (Friedman, 36).
