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

2.0

JCO is NOT the author for me. I generally detest short stories as is, so I was holding out slim hope for this. I just found the stories odd and distasteful, and they weren't delivered in that wonderful creepy way King manages to do in his work...really when I read the words 'her cut', that just finished it for me. Something twisted in my gut and I could no longer enjoy any of the stories. They were well written although the copy I read had a shocking amount of typos!
