Description
From Joyce Carol Oates, literary icon and author of BLONDE, now a major motion picture, a collection of four dark and compelling novellas about love gone wrong.
The young fourth wife of a prominent intellectual thinks herself happy until the first wife comes to stay. A shy teenager meets a dazzling kindred spirit. But the first sparks of young love soon take on a darker shade...
A spoiled frat boy decides to murder his parents, only to be floored by the power of his mother's love; and a fragile woman reveals deeply buried secrets to her curious lover with devastating consequences...
All of these stories are about love, just not as we like to think of it.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Evil Eye by Joyce Carol Oates is acclaimed for its spare and swift storytelling, with reviewers noting its beautifully observed and quietly lethal prose. Critics have described the collection as both haunting and sublime, delivering an unsettling experience that showcases Oates as a literary goddess. Her ability to depict the darkness within the everyday is chillingly effective, providing a reading experience that is horribly readable and conveys a profound sense of helplessness.
