Publisher's Summary:
Two imposing literary figures are at the center of this captivating novel: Shirley Jackson, best known for her short story "The Lottery," and her husband, Stanley Edgar Hyman, a literary critic and professor at Bennington College.

Critic Reviews:
"To the great literature of obsession we can now add Susan Scarf Merrell's brilliant and captivating Shirley, a novel as full of passion and intrigue as any traditional love story. The twist is that the obsessive in these pages is a quiet young academic wife and the object of her fascination is none other than gothic storyteller Shirley Jackson. A fantastically original book." (Ann Packer, author of Swim Back to Me and The Dive from Clausen's Pier)
"Susan Scarf Merrell writes about desire, female friendship, and obsession with a true storyteller's sense of the human heart... Shirley is a love story that will keep you up all night." (Susan Cheever, author of e.e. cummings, a life)
