La Loterie #[nn]

A weathered wooden box dominates the cover of Miles Hyman's graphic adaptation of Shirley Jackson's celebrated short story, held firmly in unseen hands against the backdrop of a quiet small-town interior — a deceptively ordinary image that carries unmistakable weight. Published by Casterman in 2016, this French-language volume brings Hyman's meticulous, atmospheric artwork to Jackson's tale of community ritual, and the muted palette of warm browns and greens gives the whole scene a sense of stillness that feels anything but reassuring. A thoughtfully crafted work that earns its place on any shelf where literary comics and classic American fiction meet.
