"A dazzling, disturbing, tour de force of Gothic suspense: four odd, compelling, ingeniously narrated tales that gain in power and resonance when read in conjunction with each other.
-BOSTON GLOBE
"For Oates, whose worldview is as flinty as that of any of her male peers, true horror is rooted not in the supernatural-that would be almost reassuring-but in the things that men and women do to each other under the spell of attraction."-WASHINGTON POST
"These four Gothic tales run the gamut from creepy to mesmerizing.... All the while, [Oates] slyly critiques our culture, from parents who don't protect their young daughters from sexual predators to killers hopped up on prescription meds.'
-CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER
"Love doesn't just go wrong between Oates's characters, it blows up, drips poison, tortures, kills.. Each of its novellas makes your skin crawl even as it also seems completely believable, like something you heard once, from where, you can't remember. -STAR TRIBUNE (MINNEAPOLIS)
