HAUNTED - TALES OF THE GROTESQUE.

By Joyce Carol Oates.

Overview: Novelist, poet, dramatist, and author of many of the best American short stories of our time, Joyce Carol Oates shows yet another aspect of her unbounded creativity in these tales of the grotesque. Haunted collects sixteen tales that range from classic ghost stories to portrayals of chilling psychological terror - complex, multilayered, and gripping fiction that is very scary indeed. This collection plunges the reader into nightmare worlds where violence slips in unexpectedly, where reality turns into a fun-house mirror, and where American culture goes awry in shocking, provocative ways.
