«Dark Tales» is the collection of horror stories by Shirley Jackson, published by Penguin Group in 2016, in hardback and in English.
Ordinary life becomes unsettling: journeys home, serene households and familiar neighbourhoods conceal subtle threats, while normal characters hide disturbing impulses. Jackson builds tension with everyday details and open endings, so the sinister grows in a recognisable and oppressive atmosphere.
The selection brings together seventeen stories, including «The Possibility of Evil», «Paranoia» and «The Summer People».
For readers of classic horror stories, suspense and short fiction with an unsettling atmosphere.
Shirley Hardie Jackson was an American writer known primarily for her works of horror and mystery. Her writing career spanned over two decades, during which she composed six novels, two memoirs, and more than 200 short stories.
