LET ME TELL YOU: New Stories, Essays, and Other Writings.

Edition: First printing.

New York: Random House, (2015). Hardcover first edition - A collection of previously unpublished and uncollected stories, essays, and other writings by the author best known for The Lottery and The Haunting of Hill House - edited and selected by two of her children from her papers at the Library of Congress. This volume includes "the eerie short stories Jackson is best known for, along with frank, inspiring lectures on writing; comic essays about her large, boisterous family; and whimsical drawings. . . She wields humor, terror, and the uncanny to explore the real challenges of marriage, parenting, and community - the pressure of social norms, the veins of distrust in love, the constant lack of time and space" - and this collection makes us realize just how wonderful a writer she can be, and how much we lost by her too early death. Foreword by Jackson biographer Ruth Franklin. Ribbon marker bound in. Illustrated endpapers. xxiii, 416 pp. ISBN: 978-0812997668.
