I love pretty much everything Jackson has written. I adore her short stories, and one of the best is
Just an Ordinary Day, which varies between chilling horror tales and regular, domestic fiction. You don't know which the story is until the end so a hint of menace clouds the whole book in a delicious way. Also love her novels like
The Haunting of Hill House, which is probably the best haunted house story ever; and
We Have Always Lived in the Castle about Merricat, her sister and her uncle who live in fairly cheerful isolation far from suspicious neighbors and townsfolk. Why? Read it and find out. Deliciously creepy. One more great story collection is
Come Along With Me, which includes a few excellent essays on writing and a fascinating essay on the public's response to her short story The Lottery.
