About

The legendary writer Patricia Highsmith is best remembered today for her chilling psychological thrillers The Talented Mr. Ripley and Strangers on a Train. A critically acclaimed best seller in Europe, Highsmith has for too long been underappreciated in the United States. Starting in 2011, Grove Press will begin to reissue nine of Highsmith's works. Eleven is Highsmith's first collection of short stories, an arresting group of dark masterpieces of obsession and foreboding, violence and instability. Here naturalists meet gruesome ends and unhinged heroes disturb our sympathies. This is a captivating, important collection.

Reviews

"The mood of nagging apprehension is consistent, skillfully underplayed so that just the right amount of chill is induced with an economy of means."
J. R. Frankes, The New York Times Book Review
"What is striking about these stories is their integrity: they are all of a piece; they grow, with that tensed-spring inevitability of the unfolding rose observed by elapsed-time photography; together they are a brilliant collection."
The Sunday Times (London)
"...one of the truly brilliant short-story writers of the twentieth century..."
Otto Penzler
