BY THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY, CAROL AND STRANGERS ON A
TRAIN
'Forbidden desires, strange obsessions and a singular talent for suspense'
GUARDIAN
'What is striking about these stories is their integrity . . . a brilliant
collection' SUNDAY TIMES
'Fabulous, in all senses of that word' PAUL THEROUX
From the eerily outlandish to the dark and brutal, Eleven presents a gallery
of bizarre characters, each driven by strange unspoken urges, whose cumulative
effect is at least as unsettling as any of Highsmith's previous novels.
Unsuspecting victims are devoured by their own obsessions in this perfectly
chilling collection of short stories. A man becomes devoted to his pet snails,
with fatal results.
A young nanny turns arsonist in a bid to become heroine of the hour. A boy
finally stands up to his mother, with knife in hand. Highsmith weaves a world
claustrophobic in its intensity, disturbing in its mundanity, as she probes
the dark corners of the human psyche.
Eleven is a collection of masterpieces of Highsmith's particular art, full of
compulsion, foreboding and cruel pleasures.
