In addition to "The Lottery," it includes classics like "The Beautiful Stranger" (body snatcher theme with a twist), "The Summer People" (a tale of sinister villagers), "A Visit" (a lyrical ghost story), "The Rock" (where death is a short, shy gentleman), and "The Bus" (Jackson's most overtly ghoulish and frightening story of all). The unfinished novel <i>Come Along with Me</i> is mesmerizing, and Jackson's "Biography of a Story" is an utterly hilarious account of readers' reactions when "The Lottery" was first published in the <i>New Yorker</i> in 1948. As the <i>New York Times</i> said, "Everything this author ... has in it the dignity and plausibility of myth ... Shirley Jackson knew better than any writer since Hawthorne the value of haunted things." 1324425 1968 Come Along with Me total:128|5:45|4:59|3:21|2:3|1:0| 128 530 215 20 4 1 false false Fri Apr 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Apr 07 04:40:04 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 12 04:42:06 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jun 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 19 17:00:03 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 01 11:24:34 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Feb 21 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 09:34:53 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 21 07:43:49 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Nov 06 15:01:52 -0800 2008 Sat Oct 25 14:30:38 -0700 2008 Thu Nov 06 15:01:52 -0800 2008 The Haunting of Hill House, Life Among the Savages and Raising Demons over 30 yrs ago and decided to give this a try.
