""Shirley Jackson's Dark Tales is a much-needed expansion of Jackson studies. These essays apply diverse critical approaches to a wide array of previously understudied stories, exploring topics such as influence, identity, space, and genre. They offer compelling new perspectives on Jackson's work, yet remain vitally aware of her position in the cultural landscape of mid-century America. "" --Dr. Melanie R. Anderson, Associate Professor of English at Delta State University, USA
