An interesting read, four novellas about women facing threats to their lives. Some are disturbing and unsettling. It's the first time I read a book by JCO, I tried a few but couldn't get into them.

I loved, loved, loved and loved these four novellas. Creepy and dreamy and infuriating.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Utterly creepy , with such a sense of foreboding; always a joy to return to a story by Joyce Carol Oates. These stories all deal with predatory males, so just be warned if that‘s a trigger for you. But wow. As you read the stories, there‘s such a sense of unease; I constantly wanted to tell the characters “STOP! Don‘t do it!”
