A haunting and powerful collection of stories from one of America's finest writers, with a new Introduction by Patrick McGrath.Eerie, unforgettable, and by turns terrifying and hilarious, Shirley Jackson's collection of stories plunges us into a unique, brilliantly etched world where the uncanny lurks in the everyday and where nothing is quite what it seems. In 'The Lottery,' Jackson's most famous work and one of the greatestand scarieststories of the twentieth century, a small town gathers for an annual ritual that culminates in a terrible event. In 'The Daemon Lover,' a woman waits, then searches, for the man she is to marry that day, only to find that he has disappeared as completely as if he had never existed. In 'Trial by Combat,' a shy woman confronts her kleptomaniac neighbor, and in 'Pillar of Salt,' a tourist in New York is gradually paralyzed by a city grown nightmarish. Throughout these twentyfive tales, we move through a variety of emotional landscapes full of loneliness and humor, oddity and cruelty, banality and terror, and searing psychological insight. No reader will come away unaffected.The only collection to appear during Jackson's lifetime, The Lottery and Other Stories reveals the full breadth and power of this truly original writer.
