Review of 'The Lottery and Other Stories' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

my first surprise was how short a short story could be. there are more than 25 in this collection.
my next surprise was that, although stephen king lists her as a strong influence, her stories are not nywhere close to horror/suspense. no, her stories aremore a study in human foibles
my last surprise was that i'd read some of these tales before. i knew and liked her work already.
