One of those stories that you want to start again as soon as you‘ve finished to see what you may have missed the first time around. Really good. Jackson leaves things somewhat ambiguous, making it all the creepier.

Originally published as The Lovely House. My little stand-alone version is illustrated by Seth, but you can also find this story in the collection titled Come Along With Me.

dabbe Couldn't even stack it; ordered it and am getting it this coming Wednesday. 🤣 1y
jlhammar @dabbe Hope you enjoy! 1y
dabbe @jlhammar My favorite short story is, of course, “The Lottery“--ever since junior American English in 1981. When I became a teacher and started with 7th graders, I tried to teach that story because it was what I knew. Can you imagine their 12-year-old innocent eyes when the ending of that story occurred? 😅 1y
Cathythoughts Sounds great ! She really is one of my favorites ❤️👍🏻 1y
batsy This sounds good and these Seth editions are so cool. 1y

“The house in itself was, even before anything had happened there, as lovely a thing as she had ever seen.”

Will definitely be enjoying tagged this month. A very cute little book - perfect size for a stocking. Hoping to start Meredith, Alone soon. Sounds great. Wendy Webb is always good for when I‘m in the mood for ghosts and Lake Superior. And Zorrie is one I‘ve wanted to read for months, but was waiting for this lovely paperback edition.

LeahBergen I love those little ghost stories illustrated by Seth. ❤️ 1y
Bookbuyingaddict @jlhammar I recently did a book spa at the wonderful mr b‘s book 📚 emporium and zorrie was one of my recommendations which I purchased 👍 1y
jlhammar @Karons1 That must have been such a cool experience! Now I'm even more excited to read Zorrie. Hope we both love it! 1y
