Beschreibung

From Joyce Carol Oates, literary icon and author of <i>BLONDE</i>, now a major motion picture, come four psychologically daring and chillingly suspenseful stories where women face threats both past and present. A Pennsylvania academic unearths a terrifying trauma from her past after inheriting a house in Cardiff, Maine from a stranger. A lonely pubescent girl befriends a feral cat that protects her from the increasingly aggressive men that surround her. A brilliant but shy college sophomore realizes she is pregnant and, distraught, allows a distinguished visiting professor to take her under his wing. And a widower remarries, but finds his young bride haunted by his dead wife's voice dancing in the wind. <b>'A stylish, suspenseful quartet of novellas tinged with the supernatural.' <i>Daily Mail</i></b><b>Reviews for Joyce Carol Oates:</b> 'A writer of extraordinary strengths.' <b><i>Guardian</i></b> 'Oates chillingly depicts the darkness lurking within the everyday.' <b><i>Sunday Express</i></b> 'Both haunting and sublime.' <i><b>Literary Review</b></i> 'Splendidly chilling.' <b><i>Financial Times</i></b> 'Visceral, psychologically involving, and socially astute.' <b><i>Booklist</i></b>
