Beneath the surface of Shirley Jackson’s stories, the ordinary twists into something darker. Poisoned-pen letters arrive, marriages fracture and girls vanish. The Lottery and Other Dark Tales collects 20 of her unsettling works, including the infamous The Lottery.
This Folio features an introduction by Jackson’s biographer, Ruth Franklin, and illustrations by Angie Hoffmeister, whose atmospheric ink and watercolours draw out the tension in the stories.
The nights are growing longer. It’s the perfect time to let Shirley Jackson unsettle you.
