Compulsively readable and impossible to forget, this should both win the prolific Oates new fans and satisfy her longtime readers. - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOates repeatedly exhibits the unwavering ability to depict the shadowy, at times malignant, aspects of human nature. Her latest endeavor is perhaps her most chilling novel to date, a diary with the eerie familiarity of yesterday’s headlines, written by a sexually obsessed serial killer... With striking parallels to published reports of Jeffrey Dahmer’s crimes, it is difficult not to conjure up that killer’s image or to imagine his very thoughts and the rituals portrayed in the press as being perpetrated by him. Still, Oates compels the reader onward to the very last page of a horrifying, revelatory work of fiction. - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44887913201893,"sku":"NP9780061778919","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780061778919.jpg?v=1730227721","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/zombie-a-novel-isbn-9780061778919","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
