Description

Shirley Jackson's novels and stories offer a unique blend of psychological horror and wit, remaking the genre for an alienated post-war America. This volume presents her essential works, including her only collection of short fiction, The Lottery, and masterful short novels such as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle.

From the unsettling title story of The Lottery to the hilarious sketch "Charles", Jackson's writing showcases her ability to craft tales that are both disquieting and humorous. This collection brings together some of her most notable works, including the tale of an achingly empathetic young woman chosen by a haunted house to be its new tenant, and the unrepentant confessions of Miss Merricat Blackwood.

With its unique blend of psychological horror and wit, this volume is a must-have for fans of the genre and anyone interested in the works of Shirley Jackson.
