About this listen
A girl comes of age with a vengeance - and help from a friend - in a tale of unnerving suspense from National Book Award winner and literary master Joyce Carol Oates.
Bad things have been happening since Mia began to mature. Her dad left. Boys at school can’t keep their hands to themselves. A lecherous stepfather has moved in. Her only refuge is an abandoned lot on her suburban cul-de-sac, crawling with feral felines - one of which follows Mia home. Ghostly white and affectionate, she is Mia’s new companion and - as Mia’s tormenters will soon discover - her fierce protector.
Joyce Carol Oates’s Miao Dao is part of Dark Corners, a collection of seven heart-stopping short stories by bestselling authors who give you so many new reasons to be afraid. Each story can be read in a single sitting. Or, if you have the nerve, you can listen all by yourself in the dark.

Pretty good
Not exactly revolutionary, and for a story about cats the cat wasn't in it that much. still, it's elevated writing and a cut above average quality. you won't be disappointed to listen.

A new favourite.
I loved this story. It's Joyce Carol Oates at her beautiful, disquieting best. She's brilliant!

Dark and startlingly truthful
A disturbing tale of how a young girl can be destroyed by toxic masculinity. Kept me on the edge.
