»The Museum of Dr Moses

"The Museum of Dr. Moses" comprises a selection of dull and unexciting "tales of mystery and suspense", which dwell on the psychological but in a surprisingly unexciting way. Not a single one of the half-dozen (of ten in total) stories I read gripped me, neither for the storytelling nor for the story.

I have not read any of Joyce Carol Oates's other works, save perhaps the odd story in a magazine here or there; I think that I picked this up by mistake, having confused this author with another.
