Patricia Highsmith, author of Strangers on a Train and the superbly chilling Ripley crime novels, here turns her pen to the macabre in a series of brillant and haunting short fictions. Grotesque tumors swell unstoppably above ground in a graveyard, insecticide-resilient cockroaches take command of one of New York's swishest apartment buildings, a UN mission meets a fearsome end in Africa. Whales, the Pope, and a trigger-happy American President, all form the subject matter of individual stories of modern catastrophes which - whether natural or unnatural - fix the reader with the dark perception of Patricia Highsmith's vision.
