We will rebind this book after purchasing from the original Publisher/Distributor. We are bringing this book for our Elite readers in our Unique Premium Leather Bound. 336 It is a Bestselling Title, recommended by many readers around the Globe. In addition to Come Along with Me, Jackson's unfinished novel about the quirky inner life of a lonely widow, it features sixteen short stories and three lectures she delivered during her last years. This eclectic collection goes beyond her horror writing, revealing the full spectrum of her literary genius. In her gothic visions of small-town America, Jackson, the author of such masterworks as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, turns an ordinary world into a supernatural nightmare.

A completed draft of the brilliant first section of that novel begins this posthumous collection of Miss Jackson's fiction and lectures as selected by her husband, Stanley Edgar Hyman, from pieces for the most part previously unpublished in book form. This title is of an unfinished novel on which Shirley Jackson was working on at the time of her passing in 1965.

Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Here is the perfect companion to Shirley Jackson: Novels & Stories, Library of America's edition of Jackson's landmark story collection, The Lottery, and her brilliant late novels The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle. In what is perhaps her most unsettling novel, Jackson follows their crazed, violent preparations for the afterlife. At the beginning of The Sundial (1958), the eccentric Halloran clan, gathered at the family manse for a funeral, becomes convinced that the world is about to end and that only those who remain in the house shall be saved. The Bird's Nest (1954) has not one but four protagonists: the shy, demure young Elizabeth and, revealed with a series of surprising twists, her other, multiple personalities. In Hangsaman (1951)-inspired by the real-life disappearance of a Bennington College sophomore-the precocious but lonely Natalie Waite grows increasingly dependent on an imaginary friend. Her haunting debut tale The Road Through the Wall (1948) explores the secret desires, petty hatreds, and ultimate terrors that lurk beneath the picture-perfect domesticities of a suburban California neighborhood. Now, Jackson's award-winning biographer Ruth Franklin gathers the subtle, chilling, hypnotic novels with which she began her unique career.

Shirley Jackson-the beloved author of The Lottery, The Haunting of Hill House, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle-is more and more being recognized as one of the finest writers of the American gothic tradition, a true heir of Edgar Allan Poe and Henry James.
