Raising Demons
by Shirley Jackson
First Edition, 1957 – Michael Joseph, London
A highly sought-after true first UK edition of Raising Demons by Shirley Jackson, published in 1957 by Michael Joseph, London. This delightful and sharply observed collection of autobiographical essays offers Jackson’s wry, darkly humorous reflections on family life, motherhood, writing, and the small absurdities of everyday existence.
Best known for The Lottery and The Haunting of Hill House, Jackson shows her lighter, irresistibly funny side here—making Raising Demons a favourite among collectors and readers alike.
Condition:
A clean, well-preserved example. Pages are generally bright with light, age-related toning. Binding is sound. Any minor marks or wear are consistent with age (please see photographs for full condition detail). Missing dust jacket
Why it’s collectible:
• Shirley Jackson’s first major autobiographical work
• Scarce true first UK edition
• Essential title for collectors of 20th-century literature, horror, and American fiction
A charming and increasingly hard-to-find first edition that would make an excellent addition to any serious Shirley Jackson or modern literature collection.
