A trove of iconic horror stories from the legendary Shirley Jackson, the master of the haunted tale ( The New York Times Book Review ).

One of the darkest, most nightmarish stories of the twentieth century, Shirley Jacksons The Lottery created a sensation when it was first published in 1948.

Now celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary, this lucid tale of a sleepy towns annual lottery--and the monstrous desires it awakens--endures as an essential classic of American fiction.

The Lottery and Other Stories unites The Lottery with twenty-four wonderfully strange and equally terrifying short stories from the legendary Shirley Jackson.

Together they demonstrate Jacksons remarkable range--from the hilarious to the horrible, the unsettling to the ominous--and showcase a true master at the height of her haunting powers.
