[The Corn Maiden & Other Nightmares] by Joyce Carol Oates
2 ★
Step into the vivid imagination of Joyce Carol oates for seven tales of susspense that will keep you riveted to the page. In addition to the terrifying title story, Oates offes six other tles of night, including the never before published "Helping Hands". I guess the publisher and myself have two entirely different ideas of "terrifying" and "nightmare". I didn't see anything in any of these stories that could have possibly been described with either of those adjectives. I can't say they were bad stories or that they were badly written...they just weren't what I was expecting.
