This fully illustrated anthology gathers thirty-five of Shirley Jackson's most compelling short stories, offering a wide-ranging journey through her darkly imaginative and psychologically rich world. Known for her mastery of quiet horror, subtle irony, and deep insight into human nature, Jackson crafts tales that are as unsettling as they are beautifully written. From the eerie ambiguity of The Daemon Lover to the chilling simplicity of All She Said Was Yes, and the quiet menace of The Missing Girl, each story showcases Jackson's unique talent for revealing the strangeness lurking beneath ordinary life. Whether exploring social alienation, domestic tension, or surreal psychological descent, her fiction remains haunting, relevant, and impossible to forget. Enhanced with evocative illustrations that mirror the mood and mystery of each piece, 35 Stories by Shirley Jackson is both a tribute to one of America's literary greats and a gripping collection for readers who appreciate fiction that disturbs as much as it delights.
