Museum of Dr. Moses

In Hi! Howya Doin! an intrusive jogger meets with an abrupt fate; in The Man Who Fought Roland LaStarza a young woman's romantic view of her girlhood is devastated by her father's confessions; and in Valentine July Heat Wave a man prepares a gruesome surprise for the wife who has betrayed him. In the title story a young woman tries to rescue her mother from the museum of Dr. Moses--with unexpected results. And the children of a notorious serial killer struggle to decode the patterns behind their father's seemingly random acts in Bad Habits. <p/>In these and other suspenseful stories Joyce Carol Oates explores with chilling accuracy the ways in which evil enters our lives. <em>The Museum of Dr. Moses</em> is another masterpiece from one of the great artistic forces of our time (<em>The Nation</em>).
