Short Story Monday IV - "Haunted"
“Haunted” is a short story that appears in at least two different Joyce Carol Oates short story collections. I read it this afternoon from 2003’s “Small Avalanches and other stories,” a collection that seems to be aimed at the Young Adult market since all of the stories “visit the dark psyche of the teenage years.” But Ms. Oates used the same story to kick-off her 1994 collection entitled “Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque,” a typically dark collection of her work.
