'Even within the wild and tangled menagerie that comprises our
literary landscape, Joyce Carol Oates is a startling creature,
possessed of a speed and talent that hints at the uncanny ... The
Corn Maiden provides further confirmation of a unique writer's
restless, preternatural brilliance' Guardian.
'For horror stories to be truly horrific, the reader has to care.
Oates feels this deeply in her writing and delivers with style'
Independent on Sunday.
'Oates has a talent for creating suspense and surprise, while
apparently withholding nothing' The Times.
'Oates unerringly manages to unsettle the reader, preying deftly
and mercilessly on our deepest anxieties' Metro.
