Written by Shirley Jackson who also wrote We Have Always Lived in the Castle and The Haunting of Hill House. All excellent.
"People ... wanted to know was where these lotteries were held, and whether they could go there and watch."
😞
Did anyone have to read this in high school?
God yes, it was messed up.
I think we read it in 7th grade.
