In a small village, residents gather for their annual lottery. But what seems like a harmless tradition carries a dark and disturbing conclusion. Prepare yourself for one of the most unsettling and unforgettable short stories in American literature.

Experience the chilling brilliance of Shirley Jackson’s "The Lottery" like never before in this audio drama adaptation. Originally published in The New Yorker in 1948, this haunting tale of tradition, conformity, and violence remains as relevant and shocking today as it was over 70 years ago, and serves as the main inspiration behind many iconic works and franchises, most notably "The Hunger Games."
