Synopsis
The Lottery, one of the most terrifying stories written in this century, created a sensation when it was first published in The New Yorker. 'Power and haunting,' and 'nights of unrest' were typical reader responses. This collection, the only one to appear during Shirley Jackson's lifetime, unites 'The Lottery:' with twenty-four equally unusual stories. Together they demonstrate Jack son's remarkable range--from the hilarious to the truly horrible--and power as a storyteller.
Reviews
As an English teacher i love teacing the Lottery, so many ways to go with it, lots to discuss. The other stories are not quite as well written, but still better than a lot of what is out there. Worth the time to read!
