Master of tension Patricia Highsmith is best known for her novels of ever-increasing suspense, but she is equally adept at the short story, where “she is after the quick kill rather than the slow encirclement of the reader.” Eleven is Highsmith’s first collection of short stories—dark masterpieces of obsession and foreboding, violence and instability (Graham Greene, from the foreword). In these pages, naturalists meet gruesome ends and unhinged heroes disturb our sympathies; simple cases of murder turn out to be something even more sinister, and the cruelties of childhood come to unsettling life. This is a captivating, important collection from “one of the truly brilliant short-story writers of the twentieth century” (Otto Penzler). Review: Amazing! - This was a wonderful group of stories. Patricia Highsmith had such an amazing imagination and so well written! Plan to read more of her writing. Review: Escargot? - Some of these stories will fade out of your consciousness as soon as they are read, others will stick with you for months. No writer has ever equaled Highsmith's genius for portraying highly disturbed people in all their creepy glory. In a few stories here she really finds her stride, but most are just adequate and some good. The snail stories are so incredibly odd, off the wall, and entirely out of context and character, I have no other reaction beyond a kind of bored wonder. I don't tend to like short stories, but I adore Patricia Highsmith. If you're a devoted fan, this is worth reading. However, if you're new to Highsmith, skip this and read her more worthy works. Having already consumed the crème de la crème of her catalogue, I feel I'm scrapping the bottom of the bowl with a collection like this. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #369,855 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,339 in Mystery Anthologies (Books) #2,645 in Short Stories (Books) #5,174 in Psychological Thrillers (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 431 Reviews | ## Images ![Eleven - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dlCHgRZ5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! *by B***5 on July 4, 2023* This was a wonderful group of stories.

There were many surprises that I won't reveal but it was nice to never know where the stories were going. Thoroughly enjoyable. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/22968063-eleven](https://grenada.desertcart.com/products/22968063-eleven) --- *Product available on Desertcart Grenada* *Store origin: GD* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
