About Shirley Jackson:
Shirley Jackson (1916-1965) was an American author known for her powerful stories exploring psychological horror and social tensions.
Born in California, Jackson wrote in a clear, accessible style that often hid deeper, unsettling meanings. "The Lottery," published in 1948, remains her most famous work—a story that shocked readers worldwide and received more mail than any other piece in The New Yorker's history.
Despite her reputation for writing chilling tales, Jackson was also a mother of 4 who wrote humorous family memoirs. Her work continues to influence modern literature, television, and film, with her ability to reveal the hidden darkness beneath ordinary community life remaining as relevant today as when she first wrote.
