Miao Dao by Joyce Carol OatesMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
With the name of the collection being Dark Corners and the first story being along the lines of horror, I anticipated that this would a collection of horror stories.
This story was more of a long, drawn out narrative about a stepfather trying to sexually abuse his step daughter with the insert of feral cats every other page. While the people who have experienced this might say that it is horror, I am finding that this collection is more along the lines of the dark places we go in our lives and in our thoughts rather than the typical horror books. I guess I was almost expecting some Stephen King type of twist rather than the quick, easy twist we got.
Overall, this story was not for me (even though it had cats).
