Lovecraft, a young outsider is haunted by apparitions at the very edge of the spectrum of visibility after the death of his tortured father.Revelling in the uncanny, this taut collection stands at the crossroads of sex, violence, and longing - challenging us to interrogate the intersection of these impulses within ourselves.\u003cb\u003eReviews for Joyce Carol Oates:\u003c\/b\u003e'A writer of extraordinary strengths.' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e 'Oates chillingly depicts the darkness lurking within the everyday.' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSunday Express\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e 'Both haunting and sublime.' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLiterary Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e 'Splendidly chilling.' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e 'Visceral, psychologically involving, and socially astute.' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e 'Few writers better illuminate the mind's most disturbing corners.' \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeattle Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Libreria Fiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54039138173274,"sku":null,"price":21.38,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7382\/1274\/files\/21966033482824.jpg?v=1776775022","url":"https:\/\/libreriafiore.it\/products\/night-gaunts-and-other-tales-of-suspense","provider":"Libreria Fiore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
