Shirley Jackson's short story The Lottery is most likely her most well-read and influential piece of fiction. It has inspired and psychologically creeped out many readers and writers through the recent decades. Most notably, prolific horror-meister Stephen King. Mr. King wrote a made-for-TV miniseries called The Storm Of The Century in 1999. Its story is basically a modern retelling of The Lottery with King's own small twists and his home state of Maine thrown into the mix.
