The Doll Master And Other Tales Of Terror by Joyce Carol Oates
and Other Tales of Terror
A chilling collection of psychological horror stories in which ordinary lives warp into nightmare: a man’s childhood fixation on dolls curdles into predation; a teenager entangled in a shooting defends himself with slippery half-truths; a supposed firearm mishap conceals corrosive secrets; a wife on a tropical trip suspects her husband’s lethal intentions; a lonely girl is drawn under the spell of a dangerously “maternal” stranger; and a predatory bibliophile stalks independent bookshops. Threaded with unreliable narrators, moral ambiguity, and simmering menace, these tales probe obsession, guilt, and the violence lurking just beneath the surface of the everyday.
