![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As you might guess, it’s a short story collection. Not really knowing where to start, I took a chance on the slightly older The Corn Maiden and Other Nightmares. ![]() But my interest was piqued again when I noticed she was going to be part of Dreams From the Witch House from Dark Regions Press, so I thought it was finally time to check in to this. Oates is so prolific that they’re easy to miss, a lot is just out of stock and the rest tied up in anthologies. And it was from that point that I discovered … wow, Joyce has a LOT of horror writing. I was obsessed with that story and Oates in general for a long time, but curiously enough I never really associated her with “horror writing” until 2013’s Gothic-tinged The Accursed. I was introduced to her work in high school at some point through, of course, the chilling short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” As a student who didn’t really care for most of my assigned reading lists, Joyce Carol Oates became part of my pantheon of Authors I’d Willingly Read For School pretty quickly (at risk of dating myself a lot). ![]()
