REVIEWS
'Splendidly chilling quartet of previously unpublished novellas ... 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'

'The admirably unflagging Oates returns with a stylish, suspenseful quartet of novellas tinged with the supernatural'
Daily Mail
'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.

'A writer of extraordinary strengths' Guardian
