She is an American writer, best known for her work in the fields of horror and mystery. Over the course of her two-decade writing career, she has authored six novels, two memoirs, and over 200 short stories.

After the publication of her first novel, The Road Through the Wall (1948), a semi-autobiographical account of her childhood in California, Jackson gained considerable public attention for her short story “The Lottery”, which illustrates the sinister underside of a rural American village. She continued to publish numerous short stories in magazines and literary magazines throughout the 1950s, some of which were collected and reissued in her 1953 memoir Life Among the Barbarians.

Acclaimed 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 Soon after her untimely death in 1965, Jackson’s children discovered a treasure trove of previously unpublished and uncollected stories, many of which are brought together in this remarkable collection.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.
