### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Perfect for a Cool Autumn Night…Just Read It With All the Lights On!
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2019*

The scariest books don't need blood and gore to give you the shivers. The scariest books toy with your mind. The scariest books tell stories that could really happen—to you, to your friends, to your child. This is one of those books.Joyce Carol Oates is a master at psychological terror, and I think this book, published when she was 80 years old (!!!), proves her extraordinary stature in this genre all over again.There are six short stories in this collection:• A kept woman whose lover, whom she fantasizes about murdering, makes her wait for him nude in high heels;• A professor's wife who is enraged about her husband's affairs with young students and plots a bizarre revenge;• A young boy who is belittled and sexually teased by his Sunday School teacher—something he can never forget…and then she turns up dead;• A friendless, frumpy college girl who is unknowingly recruited for the most unethical, immoral scientific experiment you could ever imagine;• The story of a cancer survivor's return to his small upstate New York hometown and his descent into madness…and then the most horrific and surprising thing happens.• In a salute to horror writer H.P. Lovecraft, the title story of the collection, "Night-Gaunts," is the disturbing story of a child with unusual and vivid night horrors who turns those spectral visions into something else entirely.This book is perfect for a cool autumn night. Just be sure to read it with all the lights on!

    Strange
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020*

The stories remind me of The Twilight Zone television series. At times though they felt incomplete. All in all they each kept my attention, and I am glad I read them. Judge for yourself.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Some of stories drawn out to the point that they loose all suspense
  

*by P***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018*

I Usually love short gothic stories by Joyce Carol Oates but a few of these very SO LONG and drawn out that they lost any suspense Better luck next time?
