About the author

Shirley Jackson

Shirley Jackson was one of the most masterful writers of psychological horror and the Gothic uncanny in American literature. The Haunting of Hill House is widely considered the greatest haunted house story ever written, and The Lottery remains a touchstone of unsettling American short fiction. Her work explored themes of isolation, female anxiety, and the terror lurking beneath suburban normality.
