Just an Ordinary Day: Stories
by Shirley Jackson Laurence Hyman Sarah Hyman DewittBeloved 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 Soon after her untimely death in 1965, Jackson's children discovered a treasure trove of previously unpublished and uncollected stories, many of which are brought together in this remarkable collection.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. Praise for Just an Ordinary Day "Jackson at her best: plumbing the extraordinary from the depths of mid-twentieth-century common. [Just an Ordinary Day] is a gift to a new generation."--San Francisco Chronicle Praise for Shirley Jackson "[Jackson's] work exerts an enduring spell."--Joyce Carol Oates "Shirley Jackson's stories are among the most terrifying ever written."--Donna Tartt "An amazing writer . . . If you haven't read [her] you have missed out on something marvelous."--Neil Gaiman "Shirley Jackson is unparalleled as a leader in the field of beautifully written, quiet, cumulative shudders."--Dorothy Parker "An author who not only writes beautifully but who knows what there is, in this world, to be scared of."--Francine Prose "The world of Shirley Jackson is eerie and unforgettable."--A. M. Homes "Jackson enjoyed notoriety and commercial success within her lifetime, and yet it still hardly seems like enough for a writer so singular. When I meet readers and other writers of my generation, I find that mentioning her is like uttering a holy name."--Victor LaValleFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
Mary Ventura and The Ninth Kingdom: A Story
by Sylvia PlathNever before published, this newly discovered story by literary legend Sylvia Plath stands on its own and is remarkable for its symbolic, allegorical approach to a young woman’s rebellion against convention and forceful taking control of her own life. Written while Sylvia Plath was a student at Smith College in 1952, Mary Ventura and The Ninth Kingdom tells the story of a young woman’s fateful train journey.Lips the color of blood, the sun an unprecedented orange, train wheels that sound like “guilt, and guilt, and guilt”: these are just some of the things Mary Ventura begins to notice on her journey to the ninth kingdom.“But what is the ninth kingdom?” she asks a kind-seeming lady in her carriage. “It is the kingdom of the frozen will,” comes the reply. “There is no going back.”Sylvia Plath’s strange, dark tale of female agency and independence, written not long after she herself left home, grapples with mortality in motion.

Un engagement impossible à tenir pour Sandy qui se sent irrésistiblement attiré par les femmes noires et qui, après une année hédonistique d’échange universitaire à Paris, épouse Rocky originaire de la Côte d’Ivoire. Cinq ans plus tard, alors que le mariage est toujours sans enfant et bat de l’aile, le couple décide de visiter le pays natal de Rocky. Sandy se trouve entraîné dans un monde d’étranges croyances et pratiques : il découvre la Liste de la Sorcière qui reprend les personnes destinées à mourir et subit les agressions de divers animaux, à commencer par un chien sanguinaire à Abidjan. Il plonge dans le royaume de la sorcellerie africaine, mais l’effroyable vérité reste obscure… La Liste de la Sorcière est le premier tome d’une trilogie. « Andrew Cairns a écrit un roman ensorcelant qui nous interpelle jusqu’au tréfonds de nous-mêmes.
