Shirley's children edited some of her books, and they have now become editors. Shirley died at age 48 with an unexpected heart failure while taking her daily afternoon nap because she was an overweight smoker.

Writer Shirley Jackson was born in 1916 in San Francisco, California. Among her early works was "The Lottery," the highly controversial and famous tale about a village that partakes in an annual death ritual. Jackson, who also wrote such novels as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, died of heart failure in 1965. After a year, in 1936, She withdrew from University of Rochester and spent a year at home practicing writing, producing a minimum of a thousand words a day. She then entered Syracuse University where she then published her first story "Janice" and was appointed as the fiction editor of the campus humor magazine. In 1949, the Hymen family moved to West-port, Connecticut, so Hymen could commute to his new job on The New Yorker staff, and Shirley’s second book.
