A terrifying short story from Shirley Jackson, the master of the macabre tale.
Shirley Jackson's chilling tales of creeping unease and random cruelty have the
power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other. When her story The Lottery was
first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent
her hate mail. It became known as one of the greatest short stories ever
written. Have you read her yet?
'Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written' Donna
Tartt
'An amazing writer ... if you haven't read any of her short stories ... you have
missed out on something marvellous' Neil Gaiman
'Her stories are stunning, timeless - as relevant and terrifying now as when
they were first published ... 'The Lottery' is so much an icon in the history of
the American short story that one could argue it has moved from the canon of
American twentieth-century fiction directly into the American psyche, our
collective unconscious' A. M. Homes...
