Two rare Shirley Jackson stories published this week
NEW YORK — (AP) — Shirley Jackson had a gift for evoking the depths of anxiety in the space it might take to summarize a baseball game. Two very brief and previously unreleased stories, "Charlie Roberts" and "Only Stand and Wait," were published this week in the summer issue of The Strand Magazine, which has featured obscure works by William Faulkner, Mark Twain and many others. “Like many of Jackson’s works, both of these stories carry weighty, unspoken insecurities," Strand managing editor Andrew F. Gulli wrote in the new issue. Jackson, who died in 1965 at age 48, was a prolific writer who completed eight novels and hundreds of stories, most famously “The Lottery."
