A young, insecure woman finds her relationship changing as she grows more and more dependent on a man who likes to take her on long walks beside a dangerously roaring creek. Another woman, nervous around men, not quite knowing how to act when paid a compliment, becomes flustered when a doctor suggests they go out for coffee, or possibly a drink. She finally decides that she will join him when he suggests they meet at his home. A man is so forgetful that his wife panics and yells into his phone, asking where their daughter has gone. A young man is curious to see why sirens have filled the night and the police arrest him, beginning an unimaginable nightmare. A woman resents that a colleague has achieved greater success and thinks she ought to do something about it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is impossible to know where a story by the creative genius of Joyce Carol Oates will end and what frightening paths will lead to that end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joyce Carol Oates\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1613167164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781613167168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mysterious Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.16h x 6.24w x 0.72d","brand":"Joyce Carol Oates","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48485665898751,"sku":"9781613167168","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd1ba8f0-e284-4fab-9b7f-a56e6151410d.jpg?v=1778050751","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/flint-kill-creek-joyce-carol-oates-9781613167168","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
