Dark Tales
For the first time in one volume, a collection of Shirley Jackson's scariest stories! After her short story "The Lottery" was published in The New Yorker in 1948, Shirley Jackson quickly established a reputation as a master storyteller of horror. This collection of classic and newly reprinted stories provides readers with more of her unsettling tales, including "The Possibility of Evil" and "The Summer People". In these deliciously dark stories, the daily commute turns into a nightmarish game of hide-and-seek, the loving wife hides homicidal thoughts, and the concerned citizen might just be an infamous serial killer. In the haunting world of Shirley Jackson, nothing is as it seems and nowhere is safe, from the city streets to the crumbling country pile, and from the small-town apartment to the dark, dark woods. There's something sinister in suburbia.
