Reviews
Joyce Carol Oates is one of today's finest writers. Her latest release, Flint Kill Creek, is . . . written in her indomitable style that has made her a legend, and even in the short story form, her keen eye and way with words are evident. . . . Flint Kill Creek features some fine storytelling as only someone with Joyce Carol Oates' pedigree can produce., If you like your fiction noirish and nerve-shredding, look no further than the latest offering from US literary powerhouse Joyce Carol Oates., [These thirteen stories] from the reigning monarch of neo-gothic creepy-crawlies [are] fever dreams for readers with a taste for freak shows that just might be about them., [These stories] from the reigning monarch of neo-gothic creepy-crawlies [are] fever dreams for readers with a taste for freak shows that just might be about them., There are no happy endings . . . yet, in thrall to a master manipulator of words, readers will grit their teeth and turn another page in this collection. The stories in Flint Kill Creek are unforgettable., Grimly satisfying . . . Oates's prose is surgically precise, and her appetite for the grotesque falls on the right side of lurid. This will thrill the author's fans., In this collection of twelve stories, in which relationships swerve disastrously off course, people aren't as one thought they were, and seemingly bucolic landscapes turn sinister, Oates carefully threads strands of mystery and evil through the quotidian.

    Book arrived quickly and in described condition. Packaging was just a waterproof mailer that arrived already open on one end, but the book suffered no damage from exposure. Likely, it was caused during the shipping process. The price was incredibly fair for the condition, and shipping was free. It cost far less than ordering it through their company website. Would absolutely buy from them again.
