PRAISE FOR JOYCE CAROL OATES: 'Oates is simply the most consistently inventive, brilliant, curious and creative writer going, as far as I'm concerned' Gillian Flynn'A collection that displays Oates's ability to inhabit distinctive voices to chilling effect' Observer. 'A sense of helplessness is the essence of horror, and Oates conveys that feeling as well as any writer around' New York Times. 'Both haunting and sublime' Literary Review. 'An unsettling read worth every resulting jump in the night... [Oates is a] literary goddess' Daily Mail. 'Oates chillingly depicts the darkness lurking within the everyday' Sunday Express. 'Oates' world is full of iniquities, and grisly ways to rectify them. But it's a world sharp with reality, for all its ghouls and sorrows' * Financial Times *
