Review
In Haunted: Tales of the Grotesque, Joyce Carol Oates astutely captures "the interior haunting of a human being by their ever-shifting sense of self." This fascination with identity, secret selves, and our private inner landscapes shapes many of Oates's works, and she even assumes her own other self when she writes as Rosamond Smith. This pseudonym allows Oates to escape into the world of the thriller, where the psychologically disturbed mind can still find a home.
Smith's seventh novel, Starr Bright Will Be with You Soon, is the story of identical twins, who have lived remarkably different lives. Sharon Donner (a.k.a. Starr Bright) is a Las Vegas stripper--and oh, yes, one of the most deadly female serial killers to have walked our planet. On the other end of the spectrum is her sister, Lily Merrick. As this demure-sounding name might suggest, Lily is an all-around good girl, housewife, and mother, who is completely unaware of her twin's murderous streak. Estranged for many years, Sharon decides it's time to pay her do-gooder of a doppelganger a visit, and makes her way to upstate New York. Of course, this won't be a cozy, Oprah Winfrey kind of reunion. Sharon's ugly past soon catches up with her, and thereby drags her twin into the very dangerous present. --Naomi Gesinger
