The classic short story--now in full color
Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" continues to thrill and
unsettle readers nearly seven decades after it was first published. By
turns puzzling and harrowing, "The Lottery" raises troubling questions
about conformity, tradition, and the ritualized violence that may haunt
even the most bucolic, peaceful village.
This graphic adaptation by Jackson's grandson Miles Hyman allows readers
to experience "The Lottery" as never before, or to discover it anew. He
has crafted an eerie vision of the hamlet where the tale unfolds and the
unforgettable ritual its inhabitants set into motion. Hyman's
full-color, meticulously detailed panels create a noirish atmosphere
that adds a new dimension of dread to the original story.
Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" The Authorized Graphic Adaptation
stands as a tribute to Jackson, and reenvisions her iconic story as a
striking visual narrative.
