If you like your fiction noirish and nerve-shredding, look no further than the latest offering from US literary powerhouse Joyce Carol Oates., Joyce Carol Oates is one of today's finest writers. Her latest release, Flint Kill Creek, is . . . written in her indomitable style that has made her a legend, and even in the short story form, her keen eye and way with words are evident. . . . Flint Kill Creek features some fine storytelling as only someone with Joyce Carol Oates' pedigree can produce., [These thirteen stories] from the reigning monarch of neo-gothic creepy-crawlies [are] fever dreams for readers with a taste for freak shows that just might be about them., [These stories] from the reigning monarch of neo-gothic creepy-crawlies [are] fever dreams for readers with a taste for freak shows that just might be about them., There are no happy endings . . . yet, in thrall to a master manipulator of words, readers will grit their teeth and turn another page in this collection. The stories in Flint Kill Creek are unforgettable., Grimly satisfying . . . Oates's prose is surgically precise, and her appetite for the grotesque falls on the right side of lurid. This will thrill the author's fans., In this collection of twelve stories, in which relationships swerve disastrously off course, people aren't as one thought they were, and seemingly bucolic landscapes turn sinister, Oates carefully threads strands of mystery and evil through the quotidian.

- o***5 (34)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was in the condition as described, so I wasn't expecting much. But actually it was in pretty good shape for my standards, I was surprised. Furthermore the book was sent in a cardboard box to protect it from damage during shipment. This box was evidence of the seller's intent to deliver a good product and I will definitely be going to this seller before other in the future.

Their shipping is the same if it is a cardboard mailer or a bubble mailer, $3.99. The book arrived damaged, bubble mailer torn. They offered a discount for damaged book & missing shipping request. I accepted but still disappointed, as I will have to buy it again. Last week different order was shipped in cardboard mailer item, arrived perfect no damage as described.
