As is classic for a collection of short stories, some of these I loved, some I hated and some made me viscerally uncomfortable. The writing is fantastic through all though! My favourites were "The Tooth", "Pillar of Salt" and of course "The Lottery".
Moderate: Animal cruelty, Panic attacks/disorders, Racism, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
