"Je m'appelle Mary Katherine Blackwood. J'ai dix-huit ans, et je vis avec ma soeur, Constance. J'ai souvent pensé qu'avec un peu de chance, j'aurais pu naître loup-garou, car à ma main droite comme à la gauche, l'index est aussi long que le majeur, mais j'ai dû me contenter de ce que j'avais. Je n'aime pas me laver, je n'aime pas les chiens, et je n'aime pas le bruit. J'aime bien ma soeur Constance, et Richard Plantegenêt, et l'amanite phalloïde, le champignon qu'on appelle le calice de la mort. Tous les autres membres de ma famille sont décédés." Ainsi commence le chef-d'oeuvre de la romancière Shirley Jackson (1915-1965), également auteur de la célèbre nouvelle "La Loterie" et du roman Maison hantée, porté à l'écran par Robert Wise (La Maison du diable).

Dans le monde de Shirley Jackson, rien ne paraît sortir de l'ordinaire. De petites villes, des couples, des maisons, des gens qu'on croise dans le bus ou chez l'épicier. Au premier abord, tout est normal. Puis un détail sème le doute. Un autre fait tout déraper vers des zones noires et troubles, qui suscitent une profonde inquiétude chez le lecteur. Voici une douzaine de nouvelles entièrement inédites, toutes plus déstabilisantes les unes que les autres, ainsi que le chef-d'oeuvre de Jackson, «La Loterie» (adapté par Miles Hyman sous forme de roman graphique), dans une nouvelle traduction.

La jeune Natalie Waite a du mal à trouver sa place dans une famille dysfonctionnelle, entre un père écrivain médiocre mais imbu de lui-même et une mère au foyer névrosée. La noirceur s'immisce dans son esprit et dans sa vie au point que celle-ci va tourner au cauchemar. Inspiré par la disparition (inexpliquée à ce jour) d'une étudiante non loin de l'endroit où vivait Shirley Jackson, ce roman est une exploration aussi magistrale qu'effrayante de la perte des repères chez une adolescente en perdition.

Biographical noteShirley Jackson was born in California in 1916. When her short storyThe Lotterywas first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the most iconic American stories of all time. Her first novel, The Road Through the Wall, was published in the same year and was followed by five more: Hangsaman, The Bird's Nest, The Sundial,The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, widely seen as her masterpiece. In addition to her dark, brilliant novels, she wrote lightly fictionalized magazine pieces about family life with her four children and her husband, the critic Stanley Edgar Hyman. Shirley Jackson died in her sleep in 1965 at the age of 48. Main descriptionThis is the definitive collection of Shirley Jackson's short stories, including 'The Lottery' - one of the most terrifying and iconic stories of the twentieth century, and an influence on writers such as Neil Gaiman and Stephen King.'Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written' Donna TarttIn these stories an excellent host finds himself turned out of home by his own guests; a woman spends her wedding day frantically searching for her husband-to-be; and in Shirley Jackson's best-known story, a small farming village comes together for a terrible annual ritual. The creeping unease of lives squandered and the bloody glee of lives lost is chillingly captured in these tales of wasted potential and casual cruelty by a master of the short story. Shirley Jackson's chilling tales have the power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other. She was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lottery was first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the greatest American stories of all time.

Shirley Jackson died in her sleep at the age of 48. 'An amazing writer ... if you haven't read any of her short stories ... you have missed out on something marvellous' Neil Gaiman'Her stories are stunning, timeless - as relevant and terrifying now as when they were first published ... 'The Lottery' is so much an icon in the history of the American short story that one could argue it has moved from the canon of American twentieth-century fiction directly into the American psyche, our collective unconscious' A.

Reminiscent of her classic story ''The Lottery'', Jackson''s disturbing and darkly funny first novel exposes the underside of American suburban life.br>br>''Her books penetrate keenly to the terrible truths which sometimes hide behind comfortable fictions, to the treachery beneath cheery neighborhood faces and the plain manners of country folk; to the threat that sparkles at the rainbow''s edge of the sprinkler spray on even the greenest lawns, on the sunniest of midsummer mornings'' Donna Tarttbr>br>In Pepper Street, an attractive suburban neighbourhood filled with bullies and egotistical bigots, the feelings of the inhabitants are shallow and selfish: what can a neighbour gain from another neighbour, what may be won from a friend? One child stands alone in her goodness: little Caroline Desmond, kind, sweet and gentle, and the pride of her family. But the malice and self-absorption of the people of Pepper Street lead to a terrible event that will destroy the community of which they are so proud. Exposing the murderous cruelty of children, and the blindness and selfishness of adults, Shirley Jackson reveals the ugly truth behind a ''perfect'' world.br>br>Shirley Jackson''s chilling tales have the power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other.

The unsettling story of a young woman's descent into mental illness, from the author of The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived at the Castle. 'An amazing writer' Neil Gaiman Elizabeth Richmond is almost too quiet to be believed, with no friends, no parents, and a job that leaves her strangely unnoticed. But soon she starts to behave in ways she can neither control nor understand, to the increasing horror of her doctor, and the humiliation of her self-centred aunt. As a tormented Elizabeth becomes two people, then three, then four, each wilder and more wicked than the last, a battle of wills threatens to destroy the girl and all who surround her. The Bird's Nest is a macabre journey into who we are, and how close we sometimes come to the brink of madness. Shirley Jackson's chilling tales of creeping unease and casual cruelty have the power to unsettle and terrify unlike any other. She was born in California in 1916. When her short story The Lottery was first published in The New Yorker in 1948, readers were so horrified they sent her hate mail; it has since become one of the most iconic American stories of all time.

WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN A CASTLE

Shirley Jackson

- 9781998114948
Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle is a gothic novel centered on two sisters, Merricat and Constance Blackwood, who live in isolation with their ailing Uncle Julian after most of their family was poisoned at dinner years earlier. The townspeople despise and ostracize the Blackwoods, fueling a tense atmosphere of hostility and suspicion.

Merricat, who narrates the story, uses rituals and superstitions to protect their home and maintain their secluded life, while Constance focuses on caretaking and domestic stability. Their fragile peace is disrupted when their cousin Charles arrives, bringing greed and outside influence that unsettles their routine and threatens their bond.

The novel builds to violence and destruction, culminating in the burning of the Blackwood home. Constance and Merricat retreat further into isolation, choosing to live entirely apart from the hostile world. Jackson's story blends themes of alienation, family loyalty, and the dangers of intrusion into a fragile sanctuary.
