The Museum of Dr. Moses: Tales of Mystery and Suspense is a short story collection by Joyce Carol Oates[1] comprising ten thriller and horror stories.

In "The Man Who Fought Roland LaStarza" a woman’s world is upended when she learns the brutal truth about a family friend’s death—and what her father is capable of.

Meanwhile, a businessman desperate to find his missing two-year-old grandson in "Suicide Watch" must determine whether the horrifying tale his junkie son tells him about the boy’s whereabouts is a confession or a sick test.

In "Valentine, July Heat Wave" a man prepares a gruesome surprise for the wife determined to leave him.

Kirkus Reviews described the collection as "surreal interior landscapes, shamelessly incantatory prose and an enduring ambivalence toward the neo-gothic conventions from which Oates draws her power to shock and dismay.
