    Shirley Jackson

    Shirley Jackson was an influential American author. A popular writer in her time, her work has received increasing attention from literary critics in recent years. She has influenced such writers as Stephen King, Nigel Kneale, and Richard Matheson.

    She is best known for her dystopian short story, The Lottery (1948), which suggests there is a deeply unsettling underside to bucolic, smalltown America. In her critical biography of Shirley Jackson, Lenemaja Friedman notes that when Shirley Jacksons story The Lottery was published in the June 28, 1948, issue of The New Yorker, it received a response that no New Yorker story had ever received. Hundreds of letters poured in that were characterized by, as Jackson put it, bewilderment, speculation and old-fashioned abuse.
