Three of the stories are uncomfortably obvious: in The Precipice, a peaceful man is drawn by evil to fight; in The Tryst, a young woman attempts suicide in the bathroom of her married lover's house while his family is out; in "A Middle-Class Education," we see the nervous breakdown of an educated and modern man who's witnessed a downtown murder.
Queen of the Night
The story portrays the marriage of a seemingly innocent older woman to a younger man—and his destruction at her hands. The relationship is unbalanced, with power in one person’s hand and lamb like innocence at the other side. Human manipulation, greed and selfishness become the core themes of this story.
