Review
A horror story from Ms. Oates. A monster story and yet nothing supernatural about it. A serial killer story where the killer never touches anyone. A moral revenge story. This took me by surprise with it's startling and horrible main image. A short story, yet very powerful and very creepy. Brilliant.
