Dec. 14: Shirley Jackson, American writer

Shirley Jackson (1916-1965) American novelist and short story writer; The Haunting of Hill House; "Charles"; "The Lottery." It's hard to believe that the whimsical "Charles," about a kid who gets away with figurative murder, could come from the same mind that produced "The Lottery," about literal ritualized murder. But there it is.
