Six Degrees of Separation
We begin with
↓
The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson
Jackson, the master of the horrifying short story, is a great author to read in October.
↓
The Lottery: A Graphic Adaptation by Miles Hyman and Shirley Jackson
I've never actually read "The Lottery" short story but I have read this graphic novel, an adaptation of the famous, classic story
↓
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Seth Grahame-Smith and Jane Austen, illustrated by Cliff Richards
Of course I've read Pride and Prejudice but I only read the graphic novel of its spin off, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, not the regular print version.
↓
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
I'm not one for zombie stories but I did read this book several years ago and actually was thinking about it just yesterday. The zombies were so persistent.
↓
Zombies vs. Unicorns edited by Holly Black
It's a question as old as time. Zombies or unicorns? Lots of YA authors weigh in on their preference. I haven't thought of this book in years.
↓
Lips Touch Three Times by Laini Taylor
Another short story collection about supernatural beings that I haven't thought of for years. This book was a National Book Award finalist the year it was published.
↓
The Complete Stories of Flannery O'Connor
Another short story collection by a master of the form. This book won the National Book Award in 1971.
↓
That brings us back around to The Lottery and Other Stories.
I've been enjoying books in this form this fall. Perhaps it would be a good time to pick and read this collection finally.

I've only read the last one. Anything with zombie in the title or description I avoid like the plague.

ReplyDeleteOh, I see, you read a lot more books that could be linked to the first book. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting mySix Degrees of Separation which led me to The Wave, a great book that explains a lot about human nature and why we have so many problems in this world.
I should read The Wave based on your description.
DeleteGood decision. I think everyone should read The Wave. Thanks, Anne.
