The Lottery, one of the most terrifying stories written in this century, created a sensation when it was first published in The New Yorker. "Power and haunting," and "nights of unrest" were typical reader responses. This collection, the only one to appear during Shirley Jackson's lifetime, unites "The Lottery:" with twenty-four equally unusual stories. Together they demonstrate Jack son's remarkable range--from the hilarious to the truly horrible--and power as a storyteller.

评分看到结尾毛骨悚然，对集体社会和民主的绝佳讽刺。不论是怎样由多数人统治的民主社会，人内心的善恶都不会改变。而在作者眼里，人性无疑是恶的。对他人苦难的袖手旁观，或是投以石头取之性命。很少这么说，但是我认为是必读的短篇小说，总是我个人对这种揭露人性之丑恶的作品非常喜欢。
评分一个那么凛冽，那么震撼的故事。一个我不喜欢的故事。却是必然让我思考的最多的故事。
