110 mARCh “<strong>Penguin</strong> Classics Presents” event<br />

At last, Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” enters <strong>Penguin</strong> Classics,<br />

sixty-five years after it shocked America audiences and elicited<br />

the most responses of any piece in New Yorker history. In her<br />

gothic visions of small-town America, Jackson, the author of such<br />

masterworks as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always<br />

Lived in the Castle, turns an ordinary world into a supernatural<br />

nightmare. This eclectic collection goes beyond her horror writing,<br />

revealing the full spectrum of her literary genius. In addition<br />

to Come Along with Me, Jackson’s unfinished novel about the<br />

quirky inner life of a lonely widow, it features sixteen short stories<br />

and three lectures she delivered during her last years.
