Wow! Shirley Jackson is a MASTER at the art of short story. A few of these I was all “what?!” and had to go back and re-read! These were mostly arranged in chronological order (her widower edited this), so the later stories tend to be stronger.
This concludes with a few of her essays/lectures— also enjoyable. A funny one was her telling of the (strong) reaction to “The Lottery”. Also liked the one advising how to write stories. #authoramonth 👇
