"The renowned author of 'The lottery' and 'The haunting of Hill House', Shirley Jackson is one of the most important American writers of the last hundred years. Since her death in 1965, her place in the landscape of twentieth-century fiction has grown only more exalted. Now comes a spectacular volume of previously uncollected stories, essays, and other writings. 'Let me tell you' brings together the deliciously eerie short stories Jackson is best known for, along with frank inspiring lectures on writing, comic essays about her large, boisterous family, and whimsical drawings. This compilation showcases Shirley Jackson's radically different modes of writing side by side, revealing a sharp, sly humorist, a powerful feminist, and a magnificent storyteller."-- From the rear cover
