This collection of classic and newly reprinted stories provides readers with more of her unsettling, dark tales, including the The Possibility of Evil and The Summer People. In these deliciously dark stories, the daily commute turns into a nightmarish game of hide and seek, the loving wife hides homicidal thoughts and the concerned citizen might just be an infamous serial killer. In the haunting world of Shirley Jackson, nothing is as it seems and nowhere is safe, from the city streets to the crumbling country pile, and from the small-town apartment to the dark, dark woods. There’s something sinister in suburbia.

Just and Ordinary Day : Stories https://knjiga.test.knjige.hr/just-and-ordinary-day-stories-shirley-jackson-1 Fri, 07 Mar 2025 18:27:28 +0000 https://knjiga.hr/just-and-ordinary-day-stories-shirley-jackson-1 Acclaimed in her own time for her short story The Lottery and her novel The Haunting of Hill House—classics ranking with the work of Edgar Allan Poe—Shirley Jackson blazed a path for contemporary writers with her explorations of evil, madness, and cruelty. Soon after her untimely death in 1965, Jackson’s children discovered a treasure trove of previously unpublished and uncollected stories, many of which are brought together in this remarkable collection. Here are tales of torment, psychological aberration, and the macabre, as well as those that display her lighter touch with humorous scenes of domestic life. Reflecting the range and complexity of Jackson’s talent, Just an Ordinary Day reaffirms her enduring influence and celebrates her singular voice, rich with magic and resonance.

Oduvijek živimo u dvorcu https://knjiga.test.knjige.hr/oduvijek-zivimo-u-dvorcu-shirley-jackson-1 Tue, 29 Mar 2022 10:55:44 +0000 https://knjiga.hr/oduvijek-zivimo-u-dvorcu-shirley-jackson-1 Na kraju sela, u velebnoj kući nekoć otmjene obitelji Blackwood, Merricat živi sama s voljenom sestrom Constance i stricem Julianom krhkoga zdravlja, oboružana preciznim sustavom talismana kojima nastoji očuvati njihov delikatan i dragocjen način života. Jer otkad je Constance oslobođena optužbe za ubojstvo ostatka obitelji, svijet preživjele Blackwoodove ne ostavlja na miru. Neočekivani dolazak dotad im nepoznatog rođaka Charlesa narušava krhku ravnotežu u kući Blackwoodovih, a neprijateljski nastrojena sredina sve je neugodnija i nemilosrdnija. Uvlačeći čitatelje duboko u labirint mračne neuroze, Oduvijek živimo u dvorcu raskošno je jeziv roman o osebujnoj, izoliranoj i vrlo vjerojatno ubojitoj obitelji. Zadivljujuća je to, uznemirujuća priča u kojoj napetost raste sa svakom novom stranicom i vodi prema vrhuncu koji je istodobno neizbježan i šokantan. Obožavana i cijenjena gotička priča Shirley Jackson o osebujnoj djevojci po imenu Merricat i mračnoj tajni njezine obitelji zasluženo je jedan od kultnih klasika američke književnosti 20. stoljeća. Po prvi put na hrvatskome, u izvrsnom prijevodu Anje Majnarić.
