The Summer People by Shirley Jackson

"She was not quite sure what made her so nervous."   Leave the city behind and join Aurelien at the lake house for Shirley Jackson's 1948 paranoia-inducing short story, "The Summer People". It's a story full of beautiful views, strange townspeople, and a distinct feeling of creeping dread.   Episode References: Explore US prices and wages by decade: https://libraryguides.missouri.edu/pricesandwages Make an egg'n'onion sandwich: http://www.annarbor.com/entertainment/food-drink/egg-n-onion-sandwich/   -- * Theme: Magical Transition by Kevin McLeod * Additional music and sound effects from zapsplat.com * Clip from Tommy Dorsey at the Hollywood Paladium: https://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Tommy_Dorsey.php * Clip from Artie Shaw At the Hotel Lincoln: https://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Artie_Shaw.php * Clips from real Brylcream and Captain Midnite Ovaltine commercials: https://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Vintage_Commercials.php
