—Life Among the Savages by Shirley Jackson is a collection of short stories about being a wife and mother in the late 1940s and early 1950s. These stories are semi-autobiographical or fictionalized versions of events from Jackson's life. The stories were originally published individually in magazines.

In a hilariously charming domestic memoir, America’s celebrated master of terror turns to a different kind of fright: raising children.

In her celebrated fiction, Shirley Jackson explored the darkness lurking beneath the surface of small-town America. But in Life Among the Savages, she takes on the lighter side of small-town life. In this witty and warm memoir of her family’s life in rural Vermont, she delightfully exposes a domestic side in cheerful contrast to her quietly terrifying fiction. With a novelist’s gift for character, an unfailing maternal instinct, and her signature humor, Jackson turns everyday family experiences into brilliant adventures.
