Art and arson, the poetry of D. H. Lawrence and pulp pornography, hero-worship and sexual debasement, totems and taboos mix and mutate into a startling, suspenseful tale of how a sunny New England college campus descends into a lurid nightmare. \"A small gem.... Oates does not disappoint, nor does she waste a word.\"--The Washington Post Book World Oates often takes on sensational subject matter ... yet rarely has she done so with the churningly quiet understatement of ... Beasts.\"--Los Angeles Times \"A cunning fusion of Gothic romance and psychological horror story, and one of her best recent books.\"--Kirkus Reviews \"Oates's new novel is a slim one, but it packs a serious punch.\"--Associated Press \"Delicious ... Beasts is something of a jeu d'esprit noir.... The novella length is exactly right for it.\"--The New York Review of Books\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45355604836503,"sku":"9780786711031","price":1480.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780786711031.webp?v=1767308915","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beasts-9780786711031","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
