Dark Tales pdf 雪莉·杰克逊
Presenting, for the first time within a single volume, an assembly of Shirley Jackson's most spine-chilling tales, complete with an insightful foreword by Ottessa Moshfegh, the esteemed PEN/Hemingway Award laureate. Following the seismic impact of her 1948 short story "The Lottery" in The New Yorker, Shirley Jackson swiftly solidified her status as a supreme conjurer of horror narratives. This compendium, featuring a fusion of timeless classics and freshly resurfaced narratives, delivers an additional dose of her disquieting, shadow-laden chronicles, encompassing gems like "The Possibility of Evil" and "The Summer People." Amidst these exquisitely eerie tales, ordinary journeys transform into harrowing games of concealment, devoted spouses harbor homicidal musings, and the community-minded resident might harbor the identity of a notorious serial slayer. Within Shirley Jackson's realm of unsettling intrigue, appearances deceive, safety proves elusive, and the sinister infiltrates even the most idyllic landscapes—from city avenues to decaying country estates, and from modest town abodes to the depths of the ominous woods. Indeed, there exists a sinister force lurking in suburbia.
