Media Reviews
"Oates paints a rogues' gallery of demons with broad, bold strokes and phosphorescent luminosity."
-- Boston Globe
"'Haunted' proves, once again, that she is America's preeminent master of the short story. It is a worthy capstone to Oates' already manifold achievements in the art of the grotesque."
-- Chicago Tribune
"Joyce Carol Oates gleefully intwines the horrific and homespun, surving up choice macabre moments."
-- New York Times Book Review
