Let Me Tell You by Shirley Jackson, Laurence Jackson Hyman
4.0
I didn’t realise it was a mix of short stories and non-fiction and was initially a little disappointed, but the Humour & Family and Craft of Writing sections were some of my favourites!
I didn’t care for most of the essays and not every short story was a triumph IMHO, but there are some absolute corkers. I particularly enjoyed Paranoia and Mrs Spencer and the Oberons, which achieve Shirley’s classic balance of deliciously unsettling and unexpectedly humorous.
