The Lottery and Other Stories

1982

by Shirley Jackson

The Lottery and Other Stories collects short stories by Shirley Jackson, including "Like Mother Used to Make," "Afternoon in Linen," "A Fine Old Firm," as well as "The Lottery."

This collection demonstrates Jackson's remarkable range--from the hilarious to the truly horrible--and power as a storyteller. The creeping unease of lives squandered and the bloody glee of lives lost are chillingly captured in these tales of wasted potential and casual cruelty.
