Two posthumous volumes of her short fiction are Just An Ordinary Day (Bantam) and Let Me Tell You (Random House). Come Along With Me is a collection of stories, lectures, and part of the novel she was working on when she died in 1965. Raising Demons and Life Among the Savages are her two works of nonfiction. Her novels-which include The Sundial, The Bird's Nest, Hangsaman, The Road through the Wall, We Have Always Lived in the Castle and The Haunting of Hill House-are characterized by her use of realistic settings for tales that often involve elements of horror and the occult. She first received wide critical acclaim for her short story "The Lottery," which was published in 1948. Shirley Jackson was born in San Francisco in 1916.
