Jack of Spades
By Joyce Carol Oates
208 pages;
Mysterious Press
Oates's latest suspense tale follows the psychic takeover of
Andrew J. Rush—a writer known as "the gentleman’s Stephen King"—by the secret
persona he uses to pen lurid genre novels, Jack of Spades. For added fun, Oates
garnishes this machismo-laden struggle with a leavening pinch of one of her
favorite feminist topics: witchcraft.
