The Black House Highsmith Patricia
Horrific tragedy becomes disturbingly ordinary in The Black House, a masterful collection of short stories, written during a particularly dark time in Patricia Highsmith's life. Seemingly small indiscretions and infidelities--along with love affairs and murder--consume the characters that commit them. As readers will discover, the work eerily evokes the warm familiarities of suburban life: the manicured lawns, the white picket fences, and the local pubs, each providing the backbone for her chilling portraits.
This enthralling collection of eleven stories presents Highsmith at her finest: melancholy, suspenseful, and sizzling with a powerful awareness of human Cycles of destructive jealousy overwhelm the cheating protagonists of Blow It and When in Rome, and the title story explores small-town male camaraderie and the destructive secret it masks.
