The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Shirley Jackson finds horror everywhere: a living room with a new guest, a kitchen with a nosy helper, a window overlooking a mysterious new neighbor. There is suspense in the tiniest encounters, in the narrowest grocery aisles. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the craft of subtle horror writing. Ms. Jackson’s the master.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I didn’t like Twisted 8 1/2 that much because it had more product reviews than thoughtful essays. I read Zafra’s blog, and thought then, Well, maybe I should just read her blog than buy any more of her books. Twisted 9, however, was loaded with film reviews, social commentary, and slice-of-life observations – my kind of Twisted. I found it a satisfying read. The book is small enough for travel, so yes, buy this book. You can read it while waiting in line somewhere.
I’m having a hard time finishing All’s Fair in Blog and War, so I jumped back into King’s Under the Dome.
