The Doll-Master and Other Tales of Terror by Joyce Carol Oates
Bold and haunting, The Doll-Master and Other Tales is a collection of six psychologically daring stories from Joyce Carol Oates.
In the title story, a boy becomes obsessed with his cousin’s doll after she tragically passes away, and as he grows older, he begins to collect “found dolls” from surrounding neighborhoods. But just what kind of dolls are they?
In “Gun Accident,” a teenage girl is delighted to house-sit for her favorite teacher, until an intruder forces his way inside the old Colonial—changing more than one life forever.
A white man shoots dead an unarmed black youth creating a media frenzy. But could it have been self-defense as he claims ?
A nervous woman tries to escape her husband. He says he loves her, but she's convinced he wants to kill her ...
These quietly lethal stories reveal the horrors that dwell within us all.
