The "Hunger Games" of MY Childhood

We have sold approximately eleven squillion copies of "The Hunger Games." I (don't shoot me) haven't read it yet. (One thing you discover when you buy a book store is that you no longer have time to read books.) But when I first heard the premise, my immediate thought was, "Oh, that's "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson.

If you haven't read "The Lottery," you can find it here. It's one of my favorite short stories of all time. (It comes right after "Why I Live at the P.O." by Eudora Welty, which you can read here.) If The Lottery peaks your curiosity, come on over to Black Bear Books at the Boone Mall and order yourself a copy of "We Have Always Lived in a Castle." 

Shirley Jackson was ahead of her time. She wrote gothic weirdness long before it was trendy.
