Winner of the 2017 Solli?s Comics Festival's Best Adult Graphic Novel

The classic short story--now in full color

Shirley Jacksons short story The Lottery continues to thrill and unsettle readers nearly seven decades after it was first published. By turns puzzling and harrowing, The Lottery raises troubling questions about conformity, tradition, and the ritualized violence that may haunt even the most bucolic, peaceful village.

This graphic adaptation by Jacksons grandson Miles Hyman allows readers to experience The Lottery as never before, or to discover it anew. He has crafted an eerie vision of the hamlet where the tale unfolds and the unforgettable ritual its inhabitants set into motion. Hymans full-color, meticulously detailed panels create a noirish atmosphere that adds a new dimension of dread to the original story.

Shirley Jacksons The Lottery: The Authorized Graphic Adaptationstands as a tribute to Jackson, and reenvisions her iconic story as a striking visual narrative.
