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.

评分看似美好的lottery,結局齣人意料
评分泛讀課材料。結局很讓人意外,原本沒意識到lottery 的結果會是如何,沒想到結局如此冷峻暴力。聯想到的是路西法效應……
评分看到結尾毛骨悚然,對集體社會和民主的絕佳諷刺。不論是怎樣由多數人統治的民主社會,人內心的善惡都不會改變。而在作者眼裏,人性無疑是惡的。對他人苦難的袖手旁觀,或是投以石頭取之性命。很少這麼說,但是我認為是必讀的短篇小說,總是我個人對這種揭露人性之醜惡的作品非常喜歡。
