"It's really frightening when a girl of sixteen has to think things like that." In my day, he thought of saying mockingly, girls thought of nothing but cocktails and necking. "I'm seventeen." She looked up and smiled at him again. "There's a terrible difference," she said.

Short Story Tournament

THE LOTTERY by Shirley Jackson (1948) (link) - tw: death

The people had done it so many times that they only half listened to the directions: most of them were quiet, wetting their lips, not looking around.

THE YELLOW WALLPAPER by Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1887) (link) - tw: depression, insanity

John is so pleased to see me improve! He laughed a little the other day, and said I seem to be flourishing in spite of my wall-paper. I turned it off with a laugh. I had no intentions of telling him it was because of the wall-paper — he would make fun of me. He might even want to take me away.

The Lottery and other stories by Shirley Jackson

I savoured this short story collection in small bites during the last month and I am finally done with it. I had already read a few stories included in the edition that my friend kindly got me at Shakespeare & co. There were ups and downs in this book for me personally. Overall I would say that I was reminded of how Shirley Jackson is able to instill a very specific kind of anxiety, which is insane. It's always that feeling that you have no control over mundane things, that people around you are somewhat plotting against you, that somehow everyone knows something you don't. On paper it sounds like something that should trigger me way more than it actually does when I am reading her stuff, which just tells you how good of a writer she is. I will not talk about all the stories, I would inevitably end up spoiling them which is not the goal her so here's a little list in no particular order of the ones I liked the most: The Lottery, The Witch, Nightmare, Journey With a Lady, The Order Of Charlotte's Going, The Very Stange House Next Door. The other stories in the collection didn't do much for me, but I understand it's pretty personal. What I can overall say about this author is that her writing is impeccable. She has a very distinct style that you can see from page one of anything you might pick up by her. I never read anything quite like hers and I am really intrigued to read more since I have only read two of her most famous novels.

I read this for the horror prompt in the 2023 genre bingo.

I like how many of the famous short stories amount to "what if there was this fucked up town"
