Title: Notice the "Grotesque"
Review: But also notice: Joyce Carol Oates. It's disturbing. And, it's not for everyone. It's for open-minded readers, who seriously want to feel creeped out from every purposeful nuance of the tight, economic text of one of America's premier gothicists. If you want to feel your skin crawl, eyes half-blinded by a stagnant North American summer sun as your mind revels in the paranoid, sickly reality next door, then you'll like this.Some of her greatest horror stories of the past decade are in this collection, most of which aren't easy to find elsewhere.
