She’s a novelist and short-story writer. Master of the sunny mood that turns to terror in a single sentence. But her statements are not dark for the sake of darkness; rather for the bitter truth that’s in them. Shirley Jackson. Tonight, we present one of the most dramatic and horrifying of the Shirley Jackson stories, “The Lottery.” “The Lottery,” will be heard immediately following this announcement from eMpTy Minds Radio – “We at EMR say FUCK that other shit.

“We sometimes catch a window,
_a glimpse of what’s beyond.
_Was it just imagination
_stringing us along? More things
_than are dreamed about,
_unseen and unexplained. We
_suspend our disbelief and we
_are entertained. Mystic
_Rhythms capture my thoughts
_and carry them away. Nature
_seems to spin a supernatural
_way. Mystic Rhythms under
_city lights or a canopy of stars.
_We feel the powers and we
_wonder what they are. We
_feel the push and pull of rest-
_less rhythms from afar.“
