In "Hi Howya Doin " an intrusive jogger meets with an abrupt
fate; in "The Man Who Fought Roland LaStarza" a young woman's
romantic view of her girlhood is devastated by her father's
confessions; and in "Valentine, July Heat Wave" a man prepares a
gruesome surprise for the wife who has betrayed him. In the title
story, a young woman tries to rescue her mother from the museum of
Dr. Moses--with unexpected results. And the children of a notorious
serial killer struggle to "decode" the patterns behind their
father's seemingly random acts in "Bad Habits." In these and other
suspenseful stories, Joyce Carol Oates explores with chilling
accuracy the ways in which evil enters our lives. "The Museum of
Dr. Moses" is another masterpiece from "one of the great artistic
forces of our time" ("The Nation").
