A story about this — 6 days ago

WORTH CONSUMING!

Jackson is one of my all time favorite authors.

She is so good at evoking a creepy feeling, so good at making ordinary things utterly disturbing.

One of the things that make her stories so creepy is that we’ve all met people like the people in her stories. Or we’ve been in situations where we weren’t sure if we were interpreting the other person’s actions/motives correctly.

There are 26 stories in the collection. Of them, Seven Types of Ambiguity, is hands down one of the most haunting short stories out there. Not as dramatic as The Lottery but just as powerful.

Why I gave up consuming this — 2 years ago

NOT WORTH CONSUMING

I love Jackson’s novels but to her stories - except for her most famous one - I could not relate. I found them disturbing and confounding, and I simply did not want to read any further.
