Dark Tales

For the first time in one volume, a collection of Shirley Jacksonâ€™s scariest stories, with a foreword by PEN/Hemingway Award winner Ottessa Moshfegh
Â
After the publication of her short story â€œThe Lotteryâ€ in theÂ New YorkerÂ in 1948 received an unprecedented amount of attention, Shirley Jackson was quickly established as a master horror storyteller. This collection of classic and newly reprinted stories provides readers with more of her unsettling, dark tales, including the â€œThe Possibility of Evilâ€ and â€œThe Summer People.â€ In these deliciously dark stories, the daily commute turns into a nightmarish game of hide and seek, the loving wife hides homicidal thoughts and the concerned citizen might just be an infamous serial killer. In the haunting world of Shirley Jackson, nothing is as it seems and nowhere is safe, from the city streets to the crumbling country pile, and from the small-town apartment to the dark, dark woods. Thereâ€™s something sinister in suburbia.
