"The Lottery", one of the most terrifying stories written in the twentieth century, created a sensation when it was published in 1948. Today it is considered a classic work of short fiction, remarkable for its combination of subtle suspense and pitch-perfect descriptions of both the chilling and the mundane. This collection, the only one to appear during Shirley Jackson's lifetime, unites "The Lottery" with twenty-four equally unusual stories.

評分作者很擅長寫孤獨、精神有問題的人,特彆是中年女性。故事開頭通常是很正常的日常細節,然後慢慢角色開始不正常,故事中後段角色代入彆的角色,形成身份錯位和迷失。其恐怖感是隱秘的,仿佛我們努力維持正常,以為自己很正常,但其實已經瘋瞭。
