The Accursed

Princeton, New Jersey, at the turn of the twentieth century.

Vampires and ghosts haunt the dreams of the innocent. A powerful curse besets the elite families of Princeton--their daughters begin disappearing.

And in the Pine Barrens that border the town, a lush and terrifying underworld opens up.

An utterly fresh work from Oates, The 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.
