2 stars. The story was sadly not my cup of tea. I found it very predictable early on and it didn't really catch me but I'm glad other people like this short story more than me. Shirley Jackson's "the Lottery" was obviously influential on a lot of writers and without it we wouldn't have some iconic stories that we know now, so I am grateful for that. I will definitely give Haunting of Hill House a try though.
A town of villagers hosts a yearly lottery. Fatal loyalty to tradition and blindly following rules without questioning lead to the same thing happening, year after year. When pushback is heard of in the next town over, it's ridiculed by one character. Some things never change.
