FAQ About Shirley Jackson

There were some unpublished and unfinished works by Shirley Jackson. After her death in 1965, her papers and unpublished materials were left to her husband, Stanley Edgar Hyman, who was also a literary critic. He controlled access to her works and correspondence for many years, and some of her unpublished and unfinished works were discovered in her papers after his death in 1970.

One notable unfinished work is a novel titled "Come Along with Me." It was intended to be her next major work after "We Have Always Lived in the Castle," but she passed away before completing it. The novel was eventually edited and completed by her husband and was published posthumously in 1968.

In addition to "Come Along with Me," there might be other unpublished and unfinished works, including short stories, essays, or drafts of novels, that have not been made available to the public.

It's worth noting that new information about unpublished works or manuscripts may have emerged since my last update, as archives and literary estates are periodically revisited and reevaluated. For the most current information, it is advisable to consult more recent sources or inquire with literary scholars and institutions dedicated to preserving Shirley Jackson's legacy.
