THE LOTTERY AND OTHER STORIES; THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE; WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE

This small press omnibus edition contains three of Shirley Jackson most acclaimed books. The Lottery and other stories, twenty five stories that range from domestic satire to the macabre displays Jackson's wit and versatility. The Haunting at Hill House confirms her as a master of portraying the secrets of the mind, while also injecting the conventions of horror with psychological complexity. We Have Always Lived in The Castle is Jackson's most subtle work, a studied and compelling rendering of insanity that achieves it's effect in part by drawing readers into the strangely routine world of it's heroines before revealing the full horror of their existence.
