    Because she insists on fighting with words instead of her fists, 13-year-old Nita is regularly tormented by a gang of classmates. One day, running to escape their blows, she hides in the only safe place nearby: the library. When a book about wizardry catches her eye, Nita finds the help she needs in its pages. As she moves from chapter to chapter, Nita learns more sophisticated spells. Soon, stepping through a worldgate, she enters a shadowy city swirling with vicious taxicabs and carnivorous fireplugs.

    It's just townspeople picking numbers for the annual lottery...why, then, is there an ominous feeling to "The Lottery"? Find out, and listen to 7 other unique stories. The collection reveals Jackson's remarkable range, from hilarious to horrible, dealing with modern issues of alienation, empowerment, racism, and economic class. The stories are "The Lottery," "Flower Garden," "Come Dance with Me in Ireland," "Men with Their Big Shoes," "Trial by Combat," "Pillar of Salt," "Like Mother Used to Make," and "Colloquy."

    Story

    I couldn't believe how bad this sounds. It's difficult to understand what the narrator is saying. I will struggle through it one time because I like Shirley Jackson. Don't waste your money. The lesson here is to always listen to a sample if it is available.-Kim
