Night, Neon by Joyce Carol Oates
From literary icon Joyce Carol Oates comes a brand new collection of haunting and, at times, darkly humorous mystery and suspense stories.
Embracing the twists and turns of everyday American life, the author's latest short story collection is playful, gripping and disturbing * Guardian *
[Oates] stylishly conveys the sweep of life; the consequences of experiences, however tiny * Observer *
A disturbing collection of stories of psyches pushed to the limit * i Newspaper *
PRAISE FOR JOYCE CAROL OATES: 'Both haunting and sublime' Literary Review'An unsettling read worth every resulting jump in the night... [Oates is a] literary goddess' Daily Mail. 'As usual with Oates, it is horribly readable, but driven by something disturbingly like genuine misanthropy' Sunday Times. 'Oates chillingly depicts the darkness lurking within the everyday' Sunday Express. 'A writer of extraordinary strengths' Guardian. 'Oates's brand of horror has never required the invocation of other worlds: This world is terrible enough for her. Everything she writes, in whatever genre, has an air of dread, because she deals in vulnerabilities and inevitabilities, in the desperate needs that drive people [...] to their fates. A sense of helplessness is the essence of horror, and Oates conveys that feeling as well as any writer around' * New York Times Book Review *
