This is great! I'd never seen the film, just heard Jackson's reading. I'll have to see it!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it! It invents very little, which can make for an airless adaptation, but here felt like the adapter had gotten the point. If it expanded more, I'd trust it less. (And most of what it invents is stuff covered in indirect speech by Jackson, e.g. "the proper swearing-in of Mr. Summers by the postmaster, as the official of the lottery," which needs to be put into words for a dramatization no matter what.)
Sadly, the graphic novel version adapted by her grandson was awful.
I am sorry to hear that. I saw that it existed, but have not encountered it myself.
