Discover the unsettling brilliance of Shirley Jackson’s “The Summer People”, a chilling short story that turns the charm of a peaceful lakeside vacation into a slow-burning nightmare. When the Allisons—an older couple—decide to extend their summer stay beyond Labor Day, they find the locals growing strangely cold… and possibly dangerous. Jackson twists ordinary moments with creeping dread, crafting a psychological horror tale that will leave you questioning what's real and what's imagined. Told by Shannon Leigh Webber.
