  They’re feeding on you too.

  Packed full of humanity, humour and, above all, relentless creeping dread, Acquired Taste is a timely descent into the mind of one of modern horror’s finest authors.

  Rudyard Kipling - Six of the...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.

  A new collection of stories by one of America's greatest writers 
   
   
   
  These new, recent, and reformulated stories by Joyce Carol Oates showcase a wide range of crime fiction and psychological suspense. 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. 
   
   
   
  It 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.

So, when a gorgeous redhead baby-talks the beast between my legs—the Rottweiler—of course, I’m intrigued. 
  Callie: I love dogs and know some of the biggest and toughest are really just snuggly teddy bears. But when I get a look at the guy this beautiful Rottweiler is walking—yes, she’s walking him—I wonder if the master is as snuggly as his four-legged fur baby.
