British thing, maybe? It was definitely one of those books that scarred an entire generation for us. I actually mostly know it by reputation (and then I read it all the way through in a bookshop once because I was too freaked out to actually buy it and yet couldn't look away). I read all Briggs' childrens books when I was little though, and I'm kind of glad now I read those first.
