Read the title story back in high school and it's always stuck with me. I liked the collection well enough, but none of the stories were quite as good as The Lottery. Most of the other stories were much more subtle, and about "normal" people (though most of the characters were off, or unhappy, or a bit full of anxiety or some other mental illness). The whole collection is a little unsettling. But some of the stories dragged. Interesting look at the perspective of women at the time though.
