DARK TALES: AN EVENING WITH SHIRLEY JACKSON
Our Narrator, Shirley Jackson, hints at her most shocking and terrifying story, “The Lottery” which, when published in 1948, established her reputation as a master horror storyteller. This evening’s selection of unsettling tales includes a wife whose thoughts contrast sharply with her husband’s; a sleepy bus outing that isn’t what it appears; a Cassandra-like child whose prophetic vision is ignored by those who should listen; and another which may cause us to question how well we know our spouses or partners.
