Description:
The definitive collection of Shirley Jackson's stories, these are haunting, powerful tales of strangeness and terror lurking within the seemingly familiar. Jackson's writing unnerves and captivates; her scenes and characters are crafted with searing psychological insight; and her themes - loneliness and frustration, prejudice and hypocrisy, the grotesque within the ordinary, are crafted in a beautiful, sparse, wholly unique style. 'The Jackson's most famous story (and it was both tremendously popular and highly controversial when published), but this collection reveals the full range of Jackson's work - all of it equally compelling.
