  • ""[The Accursed] is in addition to being a thrilling tale in the best gothic tradition, a lesson in master craftsmanship...The story sprawls, reaches, demands, tears, and shrieks in homage to the traditional gothic, yet with fresh, surprising twists and turns... Oates has given us a brilliantly crafted work ." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)"
  • "A major historical novel from "one of the great artistic forces of our time" (The NationThe Accursed marks new territory for the masterful writer. Narrated with her unmistakable psychological insight, it combines beautifully transporting historical detail with chilling supernatural elements to stunning effect."
  • "New Jersey, 1906: soon-to-be commander-in-chief Woodrow Wilson is president of Princeton University. On a neighbouring farm, muck-raking novelist Upton Sinclair, enjoying the success of The Jungle, has taken up residence with his family. Grover Cleveland, fresh out of his second term in the White House has retired to town for a quieter life. Meanwhile, the elite families of Princeton have been beset by a powerful curse-their daughters are disappearing. A young bride on the verge of the altar is seduced and abducted by a dangerously compelling man-a shape-shifting, vaguely European prince who might just be the devil. In the Pine Barrens on the edge of town, a mysterious and persuasive evil takes shape."

  • "En juin 1905, dans la petite communauté anglo-saxonne de Princeton, Annabel Slade est enlevée le jour de son mariage. Le coupable pourrait être le diable en personne. D'autres événements surnaturels ont lieu dans ce qui fut un havre de paix. Les victimes qu'elles soient politicien, directeur d'université ou écrivain sont sujettes à des visions maléfiques.--[Memento]."
