Product Description

Paul Theroux

`Fabulous, in all senses of that word'

Review

'Fabulous, in all senses of that word' Paul Theroux 'Miss Highsmith is a novelist whose books one can re-read many times. There are very few of whom one can say that' Graham Greene 'What is striking about these stories is their integrity: they are all of a piece ... a brilliant collection' Sunday Times 'The mood of nagging apprehension is consistent, skilfully underplayed so that just the right amount of chill is induced with an economy of means' New York Times

SIMPLY BRILLIANT... 1 Nov 2003
By Lawyeraau HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
I first became aware of Ms. Highsmith through her wonderful book, "The Talented Mr. Ripley". Although I am not a big fan of short stories, I decided to take a chance on this book, as I so admired the author's talent. I am delighted that I did so, as this book contains a veritable treasure trove of literary gems.

Her stories range from the macabre to the suspenseful. What makes them particularly chilling is that many of them take place in otherwise mundane everyday settings with people who may be either quite ordinary or slightly bizarre, but to whom something extraordinary happens. These are stories that will capture the imagination of the reader. Some even reminded me a little bit of the stories of H. P. Lovecraft, as some of them contain a strong element of horror, crafted, however, in a most delicate, sublime fashion.

These eleven compelling short stories will keep the reader turning the pages of this marvelous little book. It is a book well worth having in one's personal collection. Bravo!

Poor short stories. 4 Oct 2010
By Snowman
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
These eleven short stories are more like eleven failed ideas for stories. Dull, unfinished and ridiculous (ten-foot snails chasing a professor around a desert island! Please.)

Do yourself a favour and buy Deep Water.
