About this listen

A new collection of stories by one of America's greatest writers

These new, recent, and reformulated stories by Joyce Carol Oates showcase a wide range of crime fiction and psychological suspense. A young, insecure woman finds her relationship changing as she grows more and more dependent on a man who likes to take her on long walks beside a dangerously roaring creek. Another woman, nervous around men, not quite knowing how to act when paid a compliment, becomes flustered when a doctor suggests they go out for coffee, or possibly a drink. She finally decides that she will join him when he suggests they meet at his home. A man is so forgetful that his wife panics and yells into his phone, asking where their daughter has gone. A young man is curious to see why sirens have filled the night and the police arrest him, beginning an unimaginable nightmare. A woman resents that a colleague has achieved greater success and thinks she ought to do something about it.

It is impossible to know where a story by the creative genius of Joyce Carol Oates will end and what frightening paths will lead to that end.

Brilliant writing; wretched narration!

The narrator is so aggressively performative that she manages to obscure Joyce Carol Oates’ superb craftsmanship. The vocal delivery bristles with hyper-dramatic intensity, as if the author’s prose requires an extra thick layer of emotional illustration. Every phrase, every image is slathered in shallow, obvious vocal coloring that all but obliterates the subtle complexities of the author’s ingenious story telling.
