A short while ago, I read [[The Corn Maiden and Other Nightmares by Joyce Carol Oates]] and was moved by the sheer emotional impact of the stories it contained. This was especially true of the title story, which looked at the impact on a family torn by the disappearance of their daughter. The synopsis of ''Daddy Love'' suggested a similar impact, given the nature of the story and what I'd recently discovered about the power of Oates' writing.
