Babysitter
by Oates, Joyce Carol       
(Hardcover - English - 9780593535172)
From one of America's most renowned storytellers--the best-selling author of Blonde --comes a novel about love and deceit, and lust and redemption, against a backdrop of shocking murders in the affluent suburbs of Detroit. Hannah's unreliable, elliptical narrative is seductive and compelling, like following someone into a fever dream ...

by Oates, Joyce Carol       
(Hardcover - English - 9781613163818)
Marguerite, a beautiful woman, has disappeared from her small town in Upstate New York. But is foul play involved?

The police examine the footprints made by her Ferragamo boots leaving the house, ending abruptly, and puzzle over how that can help lead to her.

American Gothic Tales
by Oates, Joyce Carol    Various   
(Paperback - English - 9780452274891)
This remarkable anthology of gothic fiction, spanning two centuries of American writing, gives us an intriguing and entertaining look at how the gothic imagination makes for great literature in the works of forty-six exceptional writers. Joyce Carol Oates has a special perspective on the "gothic" in American short fiction, at least partially because her own horror yarns rank on the spine-tingling chart with the masters. She is able to see the unbroken link of the macabre that ties Edgar Allan Poe to Anne Rice and to recognize the dark psychological bonds between Henry James and Stephen King. In showing us the gothic vision--a world askew where mankind's forbid ..
