Night-Gaunts and Other Tales of Suspense by Joyce Carol Oates
This taut collection stands at the crossroads of sex, violence, and longing and asks us to interrogate the intersection of these impulses within ourselves. Six feverishly unsettling works.

Oates perfectly captures the atmosphere of fear and well-meaning misunderstanding * The Times *
Oates chillingly depicts the darkness lurking within the everyday * Sunday Express *
A writer of extraordinary strengths * Guardian *
The prolific Oates works her magic on a small canvas in this taut collection of short stories about ageing, jealous wives, lonely mistresses and a game of Russian roulette with poisoned teacups * Daily Telegraph *
Both haunting and sublime * Literary Review *
