Book Reviews of The Lottery and Other Stories
Book Review: The Best Literature You Will EVER Read
Summary: 5 Stars
The only bad thing I can say about this collection is that it makes me want to suffer head trauma so that I can forget the stories and read them again in their NEWNESS. Singing Shirley Jackson's praises is like pointing out the blueness of the sky. Just read this. It'll ruin you for all other writers, but in the most divine sense.
Summary of The Lottery and Other Stories
The Lottery, one of the most terrifying stories written in this century, created a sensation when it was first published in The New Yorker. "Power and haunting," and "nights of unrest" were typical reader responses. This collection, the only one to appear during Shirley Jackson's lifetime, unites "The Lottery:" with twenty-four equally unusual stories. Together they demonstrate Jack son's remarkable range--from the hilarious to the truly horrible--and power as a storyteller.
