One of the most terrifying stories of the twentieth century, Shirley Jackson's "e;The Lottery"e; created a sensation when it was first published in The New Yorker in 1948. "e;Power and haunting,"e; and "e;nights of unrest"e; were typical reader responses. Today it is considered a classic work of short fiction, a story remarkable for its combination of subtle suspense and pitch-perfect descriptions of both the chilling and the mundane. The Lottery and Other Stories, the only one to appear during Shirley Jackson's lifetime, unites "e;The Lottery"e; with twenty-four equally unusual short stories. Together they demonstrate Jackson's remarkable range -- from the hilarious to the horrible, the unsettling to the ominous -- and her power as a storyteller.
