  Night Neon - Tales of Mystery...

  From literary icon Joyce Carol Oates comes a brand-new collection of haunting and, at times, darkly humorous mystery and suspense stories. These are tales of psyches pushed to their limits by the expectations of everyday life—from a woman who gets lost on her drive home to her plush suburban home and ends up breaking into a stranger's house, to a first-person account of a cloned 1940s magazine pinup girl being sold at auction and embodying America's ideals of beauty and womanhood. 
   
   
   
  Taken as a whole, the collection forms a poignant tapestry of regular people searching for their place in a social hierarchy, often with devastating and disastrous results. Rendered with stylish, fresh writing from an author who continues to push the envelope, the stories deftly weave in and out of a stream-of-consciousness to reflect the ways we process traumatic experiences and impart that uncertainty and uneasiness to the listener. 
   
   
   
  Originally appearing in publications as disparate as Harper's, Vice, and Conjunctions, the stories comprising Night, Neon showcase Oates's mastery of the suspense story—and her relentless use of the form to conduct unapologetically honest explorations of American identity.

  The existence of demons is woven into the fabric of the natural world, serving a dark yet necessary purpose. They are the whispers in the dark that keep humanity in line. Yet in most cases, those who are hunted never see the demon before he is at their throat. 
  But there are sacred rules to the hunt. For each group targeted, one must survive. Marked by the demon and gifted with an amulet, they are immune to him and he is powerless to stop them. A single wound from them would be fatal. He is a monster to humanity, but these select humans are monsters to him. 
  Yet, a weakness from years past is haunting him. Despite years of successful hunts, as this hunt approaches—something is different. Is he still the hunter or has he become the hunted?

  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
