Joyce Carol Oates is renowned for her rare ability to "illuminate the mind's most disturbing corners" (Seattle Times). That genius is on full display in her new collection of seven feverishly unsettling works, DIS MEM BER and Other Stories of Mystery and Suspense.

In the title story, a precocious eleven-year-old named Jill is in thrall to an older male relative, the mysterious, attractive black sheep of the family. Without telling her parents Jill climbs into his sky-blue Chevy to be driven to an uncertain, and unforgettable, fate. In "The Drowned Girl," a university transfer student becomes increasingly obsessed with the drowning/murder of another female student, as her own sense of self begins to deteriorate. In "Great Blue Heron," a recent widow grieves inside the confines of her lakefront home and fantasizes about transforming into that great flying predator--unerring and pitiless in the hunt. And in the final story, "Welcome to Friendly Skies," a trusting group of bird-watchers is borne to a remote part of the globe, to a harrowing fate.

At the heart of this meticulously crafted, deeply disquieting collection are girls and women confronting the danger around them, and the danger hidden inside their turbulent selves.

Light, soft sweater
Color: Beige, Size: Small, Color: Beige, Size: Small
I liked this sweater so much, I bought it in other colors. This review is for the brown sweater, which is a warm brown color. I wear colors in the cool color palette, including cool-toned or ashy browns (see photos for comparison), but decided to keep this sweater to wear in the Fall. Color reminds me of milk chocolate. These are my go-to sweaters! Easy to pop on and wear with jeans or slacks for a put-together look. I normally wear a US Medium, but I returned for a Small. You may want to size down. Sweater is soft and comfortable, quality is great, and the weight is light and perfect for Spring or Fall. They have washed well, and I have dried in the drier for about 10 minutes before removing to finish drying on a rack.

Love it so much!
Color: Beige, Size: Small
This is super cute! Beware the ‘beige’ color is very much a white sweater with black stripes so one star gets taken away for that. Go figure. But otherwise super cute. Cropped so beware of that but good quality!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect go-anywhere sweater — stylish, versatile, and easy to layer
Color: Brown, Size: Small, Color: Brown, Size: Small
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect go-anywhere sweater — stylish, versatile, and easy to layer I bought this striped sweater for a fall cruise from Spain to Portugal and then on to France, and it was absolutely perfect for the changing weather. Some days were warm, others were cool, and this sweater handled it all beautifully. It’s lightweight without feeling flimsy, making it ideal for layering without adding bulk. I wore it often throughout the trip and never felt like I was repeating the same outfit—it’s classic, flattering, and effortlessly stylish. The stripes and color palette are incredibly versatile. It paired easily with black, brown, and neutral pieces, dressed up or down, and worked for everything from sightseeing to casual dinners. Comfortable, chic, and practical—this truly is a go-anywhere sweater. If you’re looking for something cute, fashionable, and endlessly wearable, this sweater is a winner. I’d absolutely buy it again.
