Listeners know that few authors are able to create an atmosphere of unease and terror as well as Oates, a fact confirmed by the four novellas presented here.
In the title story, "Evil Eye," a young woman has recently become the fourth wife of a highly demanding man. When his first wife comes to stay with them, she warns the new bride that her husband is insane, and that she must find a way to protect herself. In "So Near Anytime Always," a fateful meeting in a library leads to a boy's obsessive interest in a teenage girl. In "The Execution," spoiled college student Bart Hansen has forgotten to factor in one person in his plan to commit the perfect, brutal crime: his mother. And in "The Flatbed," a beautiful young woman struggles with frigidity until a shocking act releases her.
All the novellas in this collection revolve around the theme of love gone wrong - horribly, shockingly wrong.

The four novellas in this collection are very good. My preference is for the last two, that matter of fact are less open ended.
My only issue with this book is the slow reading, over annunciation and pregnant pauses of some of the narrators. I found it distracting or sometimes plotting on. My solution was to speed up the audibles to 1.25 and then I was just fine.
Some of the stories are excellent!

Worthwhile

In spite of this, many things in Evil Eyes worked. I liked the use of unreliable narrators, used in at least two of the stories, making the reader wonder if you could trust the story being told. It's not her best work but the stories are worth the listen, especially if you already are a fan of Joyce Carol Oates and know what to expect.
Interesting stories, but morbidly fixated.
