This collection of classic and newly reprinted stories provides readers with more of her unsettling, dark tales, including the &#8221;The Possibility of Evil&#8221; and &#8221;The Summer People.&#8221; In these deliciously dark stories, the daily commute turns into a nightmarish game of hide and seek, the loving wife hides homicidal thoughts and the concerned citizen might just be an infamous serial killer. In the haunting world of Shirley Jackson, nothing is as it seems and nowhere is safe, from the city streets to the crumbling country pile, and from the small-town apartment to the dark, dark woods. There&#8217;s something sinister in suburbia.&#8221;<\/em><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Vilken l\u00e4sv\u00e4rd bok! Ibland har jag tyckt att novellsamlingar k\u00e4nns f\u00f6r hoppiga och korta, men denna g\u00e5ng var det just det jag gillade mest. I <em>Dark Tales<\/em> finns f\u00f6ljande noveller:<\/div>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li><em>The Possibility of Evil<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Louisa, Please Come Home<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Paranoia<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Honeymoon of Mrs Smith<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Story We Used to Tell<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Sorcerer&#8217;s Apprentice<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em> Jack the Ripper<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em> The Beautiful Stranger<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>All She Said Was Yes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>What a Thought<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Bus<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Family Treasures<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>A Visit<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Good Wife<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Man in the Woods<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Home<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>The Summer People<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">Jag hade f\u00f6r mig att hennes mest omtalade novell, <em>The Lottery<\/em>, skulle finnas med i denna bok men jag misstog mig. I vilket fall som helst \u00e4lskade jag boken. N\u00e4r det i olika sammanhang n\u00e4mns att Shirley Jackson skriver fantastisk skr\u00e4ck, s\u00e5 misstar man sig om man f\u00e5r f\u00f6r sig att b\u00f6ckerna ska vara fyllda av sp\u00f6ken som hoppar ut ur garderoberna. Tv\u00e4rtom finns det inte ens \u00f6vernaturliga inslag i <em>Dark Tales<\/em>. Det handlar om det \u00e4rliga, obekv\u00e4ma, inte alltid s\u00e5 perfekta m\u00e4nniskorna. Med mycket sm\u00e5 medel lyckas Jackson f\u00e5 mig illa till mods. Man vet inte riktigt vad som \u00e4r sant, vad som \u00e4r inbillat och vad som verkligen h\u00e4nder. Efter varje novell tittade jag upp fr\u00e5n boken och m\u00e5ste fundera en stund. &#8221;<em>Vad h\u00e4nde egentligen nu?<\/em>&#8221; Fy fasiken, hon \u00e4r bra.<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">Och n\u00e4mnv\u00e4rt \u00e4r, att Jacksons litteratur har ganska m\u00e5nga \u00e5r p\u00e5 nacken redan, eftersom hon dog 1965. \u00c4nd\u00e5 h\u00e5ller det \u00e4n idag.<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\"><em>Tidigare l\u00e4st av f\u00f6rfattaren:<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"copy-paste-block\">\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/snowglitter.blogg.se\/2018\/february\/the-road-through-the-wall-shirley-jackson.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/snowglitterbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/the-road-through-the-wall_5a72fe752a6b2280e27f387b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"138\" height=\"215\" class=\"image\" data-oid=\"5a72fe752a6b2280e27f387b\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/snowglitter.blogg.se\/2018\/february\/vi-har-alltid-bott-pa-slottet-shirley-jackson.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/snowglitterbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/vi-har-alltid-bott-pa-slottet_5a5c41419606ee7168a22120.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"138\" height=\"215\" class=\"image\" data-oid=\"5a5c41419606ee7168a22120\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/snowglitter.blogg.se\/2018\/january\/hemsokelsen-pa-hill-house-shirley-jackson.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/snowglitterbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/hemsokelsen-pa-hill-house_5a46853b9606ee1292918c0b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"139\" height=\"215\" class=\"image\" data-oid=\"5a46853b9606ee1292918c0b\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><em>Finns p\u00e5 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adlibris.com\/se\/bok\/dark-tales-9780143132004\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adlibris<\/a> och <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bokus.com\/bok\/9780143132004\/dark-tales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bokus<\/a>.<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Betyg:<\/em><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snowglitterbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/rating5_55c0d84b9606ee0b4a641d34.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" class=\"image\" data-oid=\"55c0d84b9606ee0b4a641d34\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Titel: Dark Tales F\u00f6rfattare: Shirley Jackson Spr\u00e5k: Engelska Sidantal: 208 F\u00f6rlag:\u00a0 Penguin Books Format: H\u00e4ftad ISBN:\u00a09780143132004 Utgiven: 2017 Handling: &#8221;After the publication of her short story &#8221;The Lottery&#8221; in the New Yorker in 1948 received an unprecedented amount of attention, Shirley Jackson was quickly established as a master horror storyteller.
