The Museum of Dr Moses Summary

The Museum of Dr Moses by Joyce Carol Oates

A superb collection of crime and mystery stories from one of America's literary giants.

In 'The Man Who Fought Roland LaStarza' a woman's world is upended when she learns the brutal truth about a family friend's death - and what her father is capable of. Meanwhile, a businessman desperate to find his missing two year old grandson in 'Suicide Watch' must determine whether the horrifying tale his junky son tells him about his whereabouts is a confession or a sick tease. In the title story, 'The Museum of Dr Moses' an estranged daughter returns to find her mother remarried to the sinister Dr Moses, the local pathologist now retired...or has he?

In these and other stories Oates explores with chilling insight the ties that bind - or worse. Another bloodcurdling masterpiece from one of the greatest short story writers of our time.

The Museum of Dr Moses Reviews

... a collection of disturbing bedside chillers ... Oates's polished prose only adding to their strange appeal - Independent, Paperback of the Week. * Independent *
Suspense fiction is like a powerful drug: one page, one taste, can induce such a tingly, speedy feeling that it takes an almost superhuman effort not to finish everything off in just one sitting. At least that is how it is with Joyce Carol Oates's new collection...you cannot put this book down - New York Times Book Review * New York Times Book Review *
All [the stories] confirm [Joyce Carol Oates] as writing with deft and powerful economy... And above all, she's adept at skewering a moment in such a way as to suggest other moments, lives unfolding away from us, invariably, here, towards something really very gruesome - Observer * Observer *
... builds a feeling of dread ... Oates's polished prose only adding to their strange appeal - Sunday Tribune. * Sunday Tribune *
