Description
Shirley Jackson's Dark Tales brings together some of her most unsettling and dark stories in one volume. First published after her short story "The Lottery" received widespread attention, this collection solidified her reputation as a master horror storyteller. In these deliciously dark tales, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and nothing is as it seems. From the city streets to the countryside, and from suburban homes to dark woods, Jackson's stories reveal a sinister world lurking beneath the surface. With themes of love, death, and the human psyche, her writing will keep you on edge. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features reprinted stories that have captivated readers for over seventy years.
