A review by hafsa
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson

5.0

Shirley Jackson is a MASTER at horror writing and this book of her short stories really cemented that for me. She writes subtle horror so well - with either a twist at the end that changes the whole story, or insidious, subtly creeping horror throughout that leaves you appalled. I also love the way she plays on the suburban housewife realities so often, taking something normal and sharpening the edge of it that often hides out of sight.
