 | Just an Ordinary Day by Laurence J. Hyman, Sarah H. Stewart, Shirley Jackson
Shirley Jackson fans will be delighted to discover these previously uncollected stories, some of which have been lost since her death in 1965. Ranging from the writings of her college days to the period just before her death, these stories show the breadth of Jackson's abilities in the psychological horror genre--and her warped sense of humor as well. Pleasing, terrifying, always satisfying, Jackson's work remains a powerful influence on readers and writers today. AUTHOR: Laurence J. Hyman, Sarah H. Stewart, Shirley Jackson
