Jackson, Shirley. JUST AN ORDINARY DAY ... Edited by Laurence Jackson Hyman and Sarah Hyman Stewart. New York, Toronto, London, Sydney, Auckland: Bantam Books, [1997]. Octavo, boards. First edition. A collection of previously uncollected or unpublished short stories, thirty-one of which are first published here. "JUST AN ORDINARY DAY (1997), compiled by Jackson's children, brings together fifty-two stories and vignettes, the majority of which were unpublished at Jackson's death and are inferior to her best work. Of the previously uncollected stories, 'One Ordinary Day, with Peanuts,' about a couple whose task is to sow discord in their community on alternate days of the week, is a classic Jackson tale of evil leavened with irony." - Barron (ed), Fantasy and Horror (1999) 6-179. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#128442).
