The Lottery, or the Adventures of Jamie Harris by Shirley Jackson
Each Halloween season some authors always come up each year around this time like Mary Shelley, Stephen King, Bram Stoker and the author of one of my current books I'm reading, Shirley Jackson. She is most well known for her classic book The Haunting of Hill House. I read this a few years back and it blew me away. It's amazing and I can't recommend it enough.
The Lottery is Shirley Jackson's first compilation of short stories first published. The book title, The Lottery, is a short story at the end. It was first published in New Yorker magazine and the response was enormous. It is the last story and I'm only about a third of the way through so I haven't read it yet. It is her most well known short story. Jamie Harris is a a returning character in some of the stories who is also described as "Daemon Lover". In later editions of the book Jamie Harris " is replaced with Daemon Lover" in the book title.
