About the book

The Lottery and Other Dark Tales brings together Shirley Jackson's unsettling short fiction. Her stories often begin in ordinary homes, villages and social gatherings before exposing cruelty, paranoia or hidden violence beneath familiar surfaces. The title story is particularly famous for its chilling portrayal of unquestioned tradition and collective brutality.
