Frenesí

In this gripping collection of psychological thrillers, Joyce Carol Oates, a true legend of the genre and five-time Pulitzer Prize finalist, revisits some of her signature themes, such as the perils of unprotected youth, the difficult transition to adulthood, and the poignant beauty of female friendship. A young woman exacts revenge on a lover many years her senior; a strange bicycle accident haunts a family for decades; a girl, jealous of her perfect cousin, discovers that she may be the lucky one; and a widow waits in her country home for the return of her late husband.
