# Evil Eye by Joyce Carol Oates (Paperback)

**From Joyce Carol Oates, literary icon and author of _BLONDE_, now a major motion picture, a collection of four dark and compelling novellas about love gone wrong.**  
  
The young fourth wife of a prominent intellectual thinks herself happy until the first wife comes to stay. A shy teenager meets a dazzling kindred spirit. But the first sparks of young love soon take on a darker shade...  
  
A spoiled frat boy decides to murder his parents, only to be floored by the power of his mother's love; and a fragile woman reveals deeply buried secrets to her curious lover with devastating consequences...  
  
All of these stories are about love, just not as we like to think of it.
