The collection 'Ordinary Day' is a cocktail of various shapes and styles. It combines stories written by Jackson in college and works created in the last years of her life. Romantic stories, chilling stories about murders and ghosts and humorous sketches about a family where eternal themes hide behind a screen of everyday pictures were mixed. The collection will reveal Shirley Jackson to the reader from different sides and show the process of formation of her writing skills.
