The Daemon Lover

*The Lottery*, one of the most terrifying stories written in this century, created a sensation when it was first published in *The* *New Yorker*. "Power and haunting," and "nights of unrest" were typical reader responses. This collection, the only one to appear during Shirley Jackson's lifetime, unites "The Lottery:" with twenty-four equally unusual stories. Together they demonstrate Jackson's remarkable range--from the hilarious to the truly horrible--and power as a storyteller.
