Rarely seen Shirley Jackson story is finally published More than 50 years after her death, we still have not seen everything by Shirley JacksonNEW YORK -- Laurence Hyman, son of the late Shirley Jackson, has been on a quest for more than 20 years. They have made several trips to Washington, sorting through boxes and sometimes finding sections of a given work in different piles, a process especially time consuming because Shirley Jackson rarely dated her manuscripts. Meanwhile, an early story never published before, “Adventure On a Bad Night,” appears this week in the new issue of Strand Magazine. “Adventure On a Bad Night” was likely written during World War II or shortly after, Hyman says. Jackson resisted calling herself a feminist, but “Adventure On a Bad Night” captures the ongoing tension of a woman coping in a male world.
