Synopsis
The stories in this edition represent the great diversity of her work, from humor to her shocking explorations of the human psyche. The tales range, chronologically, from the writings of her college days and residence in Greenwich Village in the early 1940s, to the unforgettably chilling stories from the period just before her death. They provide an exciting overview of the evolution of her craft through a progression of forms and styles, and add significantly to the body of her published work. Just an Ordinary Dayis a testament to how large a talent Shirley Jackson had and to the depth, breadth, and complexity of her writing. Though this remarkable literary life was cut short, Jackson clearly established a unique voice that has won a permanent place in the canon of outstanding American literature, and remains a powerful influence on generations of readers and writers. From the Trade Paperback edition.

    • Mini Treasure Trove of Rare Gems

      Rare stories by Shirley Jackson! Many of these stories haven't been available to the public for over 5O years and were originally featured in, for instance, the now defunct magazine CHARM. My personal favorites are "The Possibility of Evil" * "Maybe it was the Car" & "What a Thought". Jackson has a loyal following of readers due to her more famous stories like "The Lottery" and "The Haunting of Hill House": Stephen King is a fan and even dedicated "Firestarter" to "Shirley Jackson, who never needed to raise her voice"

    • Just An Ordinary Day: The Uncollected Stories of Shirley Jackson

      Shirley Jackson is one of our great American authors. While most readers know The Haunting of Hill House this collection of short stories is brilliant. A must read!

    • The title is well chosen.

      I've only read a few short stories yet. Her style is just as the title implies, "Just an ordinary day." A delightful mix of the ordinary and magical. Having lived in Manhattan in the 60's, I can relate. Matter of fact, it's likely anyone who lives in Manhattan will relate.
