Author Bio for Jackson, Shirley

Author Image

Shirley Jackson (1916-1965) was an American writer known primarily for her works in mystery and horror. She was born in San Francisco and attended Syracuse University in New York where she met her husband. She settled in North Bennington, Vermont where she did most of her writing. She published her first novel in 1948 but it was a short story written in the same year that gained her the most notoriety. "The Lottery", a story about the grim undercurrents of life in a small town, has been described as one of the most famous short stories in the history of American literature. In 1959, she wrote "The Haunting of Hill House", a supernatural horror novel widely considered to be one of the best ghost stories ever written. A reclusive person who rarely talked about her work, she has been cited as an influence for such luminaries as Stephen King, Sarah Waters, and Neil Gaiman.
