Revenge: Eleven Dark Tales

"It's not just Murakami but also the shadow of Borges that hovers over this mesmerizing book . . . and] one may detect a slight bow to the American macabre of E. A. Poe. Ogawa stands on the shoulders of giants, as another saying goes. But this collection may linger in your mind--it does in mine--as a delicious, perplexing, absorbing and somehow singular experience." --Alan Cheuse, NPR

A collection of eleven eerie and harrowing interwoven tales from the award-winning author of Mina's Matchbox and The Memory Police--now with a new introduction by Carmen Maria Machado.

An aspiring writer moves into a new apartment and discovers that her landlady has murdered her husband. A bereft and grieving mother attempts to connect with her dead son. Elsewhere, an accomplished surgeon's jealous lover vows to kill him. Desire meets with impulse and erupts, attracting the attention of the surgeon's neighbor--who is drawn to a decaying residence that is now home to instruments of human torture. Murderers and mourners, mothers and children, lovers and enemies--their fates converge in an ominous and darkly beautiful web.

Sinister forces collide with a host of desperate characters in this deeply harrowing collection of interwoven tales from Yoko Ogawa, a master of the macabre. Eerie, suspenseful, and wonderfully unsettling, Revenge will haunt you until the very last page.
