A haunting and psychologically driven collection from Shirley Jackson that includes her best-known story "The Lottery" At last, Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" enters Penguin Classics, sixty-five years after it shocked America audiences and elicited the most responses of any piece in New Yorker history. In her gothic visions of small-town America, Jackson, the author of such masterworks as The Haunting of Hill House and We Have Always Lived in the Castle, turns an ordinary world into a supernatural nightmare. This eclectic collection goes beyond her horror writing, revealing the full spectrum of her literary genius. In addition to Come Along with Me, Jackson's unfinished novel about the quirky inner life of a lonely widow, it features sixteen short stories and three lectures she delivered during her last years. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Quest for Confirmation, the second volume of the series Come Along: We Are Truth-Bound, is a cross-examination of the concepts derived in Volume One, A Dialogue and Dialectic: Bridging the Great Epistemic Divides. The cross-examination is conducted by means of a dialogue with a representative thinker from each of the related bodies of knowledge. The study reveals reality to be an intricate, harmoniously-integrated whole and terminates in "An Epistemological Atlas" that depicts the major processes of human knowledge in their application to different disciplines. The process itself exposes the latter to be the stepping stones of our mind's ascent to the ultimate truth. In light of this understanding, the unresolved controversies in philosophy gain a new degree of clarity and reveal their relevance to human life. This volume, a work in epistemology that encompasses human knowledge in general, lends itself to different courses but is of special significance to philosophy, theology, and physics.

As far back as he could remember, John had always been late. For breakfast, for school, even for Sunday afternoon rides with his parents and older brother to get ice cream cones he was last in line. Behind his younger brother, too. His mother had to hurry him so often, she got tired of saying, Come along, John. For his ninth birthday, John got a greeting card from his brother with those words on the envelope, and the nickname stuck. Life in 1950, Fitchburg, Massachusetts, was certainly an adventure for John. From meeting Red Sox legend, Ted Williams, to escaping an oncoming train on the Bridge over Nashua River, Come-Along John may have arrived late, but he always seemed to get there just in the nick of time!

Roger Williams is a hunter and fisherman. Since he can remember, he has pursued game on the mountains of the New River Valley in Virginia. In his collection of memories and practical advice tailored for game hunters, Williams offers an entertaining glimpse into a few of his favorite ventures into the wilds of nature as he and his hunting companions-affectionately nicknamed "the brushy mountain misfits"-experienced one unforgettable adventure after the other. Williams, who begins by providing clothing and gear tips for novice hunters, shares anecdotes that highlight the zaniness of his comic adventures with longtime hunting pals Monkey Wrench, Boss Man, Road Kill, Dragger, Birddog, Shadow, and Guide while they bonded and searched for game. As Williams leads others through his varied experiences in the wild, he details the creativity the gamesmen utilized to transform an old school bus into a useful camp site, offers advice on weapons, and shares amusing snippets from a variety of hunting expeditions. Come Along and Bring a Friend shares a seasoned hunter's personal recollections as he fondly looks back to reveal what he has learned in the wild with the hope of inspiring a passion for hunting to a new generation.
