That's a major failing on modern writers.

When I first started my study of horror fiction, The Haunting of Hill House was on the top of my "to read" list. Until that time I hadn't realized that Shirley Jackson had written both stories. I need to go back and reread "The Lottery," such an amazing and groundbreaking tale. One that, like you stated above, has been "etched within [my] psyche" since Junior High.

Shirley Jackson's The Lottery is one of the finest short stories ever written. Nothing is more chilling than that horrific twist ending! Thanks, Chad!
