Description: Praise for The Doll-Master and Other Tales of Terror : "Oates convincingly demonstrates her mastery of the macabre with this superlative story collection . . . This devil's half-dozen of dread and suspense is a must read." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Praise for Joyce Carol Oates: "[Oates] is extraordinary . . . because what she produces is so consistently good. And short stories show her invention, economy and control at its best." -- Times (UK), on High Crime Area "Disturbing but compelling psychological suspense. Oates is smooth--so smooth that readers barely notice how she tightens her silken noose of a plot around their throats." -- Seattle Times , on Jack of Spades "A dazzling, disturbing, tour de force of Gothic suspense . . . odd, compelling, ingeniously narrated tales that gain in power and resonance when read in conjunction with each other." -- Boston Globe , on Evil Eye "Wrenching, tightly written and focused . . . [Oates] illuminates the darkest corners and shows us the startled, troubled creatures hiding there, nursing their wounds, staring back at us, their kin." -- Cleveland Plain-Dealer , on Daddy Love
