Review:

PRAISE FOR THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES

"Suspense fiction is like a powerful drug: one page, one taste, can induce such a tingly, speedy feeling that it takes an almost superhuman effort not to finish everything off in just one sitting. At least, that's how it is with Joyce Carol Oates's new collection . . . You can't put this book down."--The New York Times Book Review

"As ever, Oates shocks, delights and amuses because she's so good at what she does."--The Baltimore Sun
