Nine short stories like nine nightmares. Each story focuses on a woman, but a man is never far away. Lucretia that fears her husband, a little girl seeking the attention of her father who has abandoned her, Doll whom her father forces meeting men in motel rooms… Every story could just be “banal” stories of abuse, already quite disturbing, but Oates is capable of adding a final twist that one can sense throughout the story, building up so that there is no way out. Weird, creepy, dark. I loved it.
