A review by melanie_reads_books
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson
challenging
dark
tense
fast-paced
5.0
This is a short story, not a book, and it is considered a classic for good reason. I wanted to understand why so many people wrote Jackson hate mail after it was published and I can understand why. The Lottery can be summed up as “nice people do horrific things under the guise of tradition”.
