A review by suzysai
The Corn Maiden and Other Nightmares by Joyce Carol Oates

4.0

I knew going in how dark and delicious this would be. These are not stories for the easily disturbed, but one cannot deny the talent of the writer. The last story in particular shows how quickly one can spiral. All of these situations start off as easily fixed, but due to the choices we make, all things can turn into nightmares. I particulary enjoyed the story (I can't recall the title right now) about the "demon brother" twin. Bittersweet endings always get me.
