Cardiff, by the Sea: Four Novellas of Suspense by Joyce Carol Oates

dark emotional mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

A collection of four tense and suspenseful novellas about identity, place, and purpose. She's a great writer with a gift for the sinister turn of phrase. If you're into character-driven stories with an edge of creepiness and strong female characters then you can't go wrong!
