Title: Reality bending creepy tales
Review: No short story collection is without its clunkers, but the ratio of fantastic (Haunted, The Model, Poor Bibi, Phase Change, The Doll) far outweighs the lame stories (The Premonition, Thanksgiving). If you like short stories that imply a threat...but leave much unexplained (in some cases almost all, who or what was Bibi???) you'll dig Ms Oates latest creation. An Oates fan from high school on, I really like her style, if you do also, go for this collection.
