Jacket not price clipped, slight chipping to spine ends. Three novels (the Bird's Nest, Life Among the Savages, Raising Demons) and eleven short stories, including The Lottery.
My first exposure to Shirley Jackson was through "Life Among the Savages", a book that still makes me laugh. Ms. Jackson was the first writer who opened up the possibilities of the writing life to me, and after reading the work that chronicled the scarier sides of human nature I was completely hooked. Growing up in a northeastern suburb, "The Lottery" was a tale I could completely relate to. After reading a biography of her (Private Demons: The Life of Shirley Jackson by Judy Oppenheimer) I could relate to her even more and remain grateful for her unflinching, razor sharp scrutiny of the ways in which we live and encounter each other, and the touch of madness that can infect us all.
