A Bloodsmoor Romance
Finally returned to print in a beautiful new trade paperback edition, comes Joyce Carol Oates' lost classic: a satirical, often surreal, and beautifully plotted Gothic Romance that follows the exploits of the audacious Zinn sisters, whose 19th century pursuit of adventurous lives turns a lens on contemporary American culture.

Oates's dark romp interweaves murder and mayhem, ghosts, and abductions, substance abuse and gender identity,
