The American writer Shirley Jackson is known primarily for her works of horror and mystery. She attracted significant public attention for the controversial short story ‘The Lottery’, presenting the sinister underside of a bucolic American village. Her 1959 horror masterpiece ‘The Haunting of Hill House’ is widely considered one of the best ghost stories ever written. In spite of her untimely death at the age of 48, her works continue to draw critical acclaim and revaluation, whilst having a major impact on the development of the horror genre. This eBook presents Jackson’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
