'Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written'  Donna Tartt, author of The GoldfinchNatalie Waite, daughter of a mediocre writer and a neurotic housewife, is increasingly unsure of her place in the world. In the midst of adolescence she senses a creeping darkness in her life, which will spread among nightmarish parties, poisonous college cliques and the manipulations of the intellectual men who surround her, as her identity gradually crumbles.\r\n\r\n   This Penguin edition includes a Foreword by Francine Prose.   Shirley  Jackson's chilling tales have the  power to unsettle and  terrify unlike any other. She was born in  California in 1916.\r\n\r\n When her  short story The Lottery was first published in The New Yorker   in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail  it has   since become one of the greatest American stories of all time. Her   first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial, The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48.\r\n\r\n   'An amazing writer'  Neil Gaiman'The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable ... It is a place where things are not what they seem  even on a morning that is sunny and clear there is always the threat of darkness looming, of things taking a turn for the worse' A. M.\r\n\r\n Homes'Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders' Dorothy Parker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
