Eight short stories, set in the fictional New England town of Shady Hill, where the suburbanite residents exist in an allegorical hell: "a nice house with a garden and a place outside for cooking meat," and where "there was no turpitude; there had not been a divorce…there had not even been a breath of scandal."
