The Lottery, by Shirley Jackson, 1948

The Lottery, by Shirley Jackson, 1948

This a lottery you don't want to win.

The story describes a fictional small town which observes an annual ritual known as "the lottery", which results in the killing of one individual in the town.

"The Lottery" has been described as "one of the most famous short stories in the history of American literature"

My rating: ★★★☆☆ (3 out of 5 stars) - I liked it.
