2021 Bram Stoker Awards(R) Nominee for Superior Achievement in
Non-Fiction From the short story "The Lottery" to the masterworks
The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle,
Shirley Jackson's popular, often bestselling works experimented
with popular generic forms (melodrama, folktale, horror, the
Gothic, and the Weird) to create a uniquely apocalyptic vision of
America and its contradictions. With a Foreword by award-winning
Jackson biographer Ruth Franklin, this collection features
comprehensive critical engagement with Jackson's works, including
those that have received less scholarly attention. Among these are
the novels The Road Through the Wall, The Bird's Nest, and
Hangsaman, as well as Jackson's historical study, The Witchcraft of
Salem Village. Also included are essays on Jackson's darkly
humorous collections Life Among the Savages and Raising Demons, on
Stephen King's "literary friendship" with Jackson, on the
little-known film adaptations Lizzie (1957) and Hosszu Alkony (Long
Twilight) (1997), and the first-ever extended analysis devoted to
Jackson's unpublished satirical cartoon sketches. The collection's
five sections focus on Jackson's style, key themes, and influence;
her politics and poetics of space; her treatment of the "monstrous"
mother and monstrousness of motherhood; her representations of
outsiders and minorities; and moving-image adaptations of her work.
