Abstract:
"This gorgeously eerie collection of six stories explores the deepest entwining of lust and repulsion, creation and dissolution, Eros and Thanatos"-- Provided by publisher.

Reveling in the uncanny, Oates' short stories stand at the crossroads of sex, violence, and longing-- and asks us to interrogate the intersection of these impulses within ourselves.-- From back cover.
