  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.

  Thomas Burke was born Sydney Thomas Burke on November 29th, 1886 in Eltham, London (at the time it was part of Kent). 
  An author in the early years of the 20th Century Burke brought his skills of pen and eye to parts of London, specifically the Limehouse district of the East End, to write with drive and vigour about the characters he met and the places that he knew.  Whether he turned that material into fiction or non-fiction the words seep quality.  His publications ranged from these wonderful vignettes of down-at-heel London to writings on homosexuality and the English Countryside. 
  Thomas Burke died in the Homeopathic Hospital in Queens Square, Bloomsbury on 22 September 1945.

  Who do you trust? 
  Nuss needs a new life, one she hopes will bring better opportunities and solitude. With that motivation alone, she’s traveled weeks with a caravan that is full on judgment and empty on safety. 
  Now, only days away from her goal, the unwelcome arrival of two sorcerers threatens to stop her. And if they don’t, then the silent creature they've tracked to the caravan might. A creature far too capable of hiding in plain sight and wearing any face.  
  As the sorcerers' search brings them close to her, Nuss realizes the creature may be even closer. In a world where any connection with other people could get you cursed and executed, Nuss must determine who, if anyone, can be trusted. Failure may end her old life before her new one can even begin. 
  Cursed is the stand-alone (short story) prequel to Whisper, first book in The Entian Curse Trilogy! 
  Narrated by Ink Arnadine
