"In the twenty-five uncommon stories collected here, intense emotions erupt into extremes of expression, and ordinary men and women are smothered by the embrace of the macabre."
Read some years ago - can't recall much except that a large chunk is taken up by a very striking novella by Joyce Carol Oates, "The Virgin in the Rose Bower". My main 'take' from this collection was a determination to follow up other fiction by Oates, which I have, at the time of writing, began to read. ( )
