Synopsis:

Set against the drug-induced backdrop of the 1970s, a powerful novel follows talented Gillian Brauer, a junior at Catamount College, who falls in love with the bohemian existence of rebellious professor Andre Harrow and his sculptress wife Dorcas, as she becomes addicted to their world and soon learns the true meaning of Dorcas's motto "We are beasts and this is our consolation."

Review:

"It's not subtle, but it works. Whenever Oates composes at this length, she doesn't pad or overwrite. The result is a cunning fusion of Gothic romance and psychological horror story, and one of her best recent books."

Kirkus, 10/01/2001

Review:

"As slim Gothic novels go, there are many worse. As Joyce Carol Oates novels go, there are many better."

Amy Benfer, New York Times Book Review, 01/06/2002
