Nothing That Meets the Eye: The Uncollected Stories of Patricia HighsmithThis volume spans almost fifty years of Highsmith's career and establishes her as a permanent member of our American literary canon, as attested by recent publication of two of these stories in The New Yorker and Harper's. The stories assembled in Nothing That Meets the Eye, written between 1938 and 1982, are vintage Highsmith: a gigolo like psychopath preys on unfulfilled career women; a lonely spinster's fragile hold on reality is tethered to the


This volume spans almost fifty years of Highsmith's career and establishes her as a permanent member of our American literary canon, as attested by recent publication of two of these stories in The New Yorker and Harper's. The stories assembled in Nothing That Meets the Eye, written between 1938 and 1982, are vintage Highsmith: a gigolo-like psychopath preys on unfulfilled career women; a lonely spinster's fragile hold on reality is tethered to the bottle; an estranged postal worker invents homicidal fantasies about his coworkers. While some stories anticipate the diabolical narratives of the Ripley novels, others possess a Capra-like sweetness that forces us to see the author in a new light. From this new collection, a remarkable portrait of the American psyche at mid-century emerges, unforgettably distilled by the inimitable eye of Patricia Highsmith. A New York Times Notable Book and a Washington Post Rave of 2002.

Wife and cat approved!!!
Color: Grey, Size: Queen, Color: Grey, Size: Queen
The BEDELITE Fluffy Queen Comforter has been a great addition to our bedroom. It has a soft, plush feel right out of the bag and fluffs up nicely once laid out. It strikes a nice balance of being lightweight while still keeping us warm and cozy, which is perfect for year-round use. My wife immediately noticed how soft it felt, and it really does make the bed feel more inviting at the end of the day. What surprised me most is how much everyone in the house seems to love it—our cats practically live on the bed now because of how comfortable it is. The fabric feels gentle against the skin, and it doesn’t have that scratchy or noisy texture some budget comforters do. Overall, it’s a cozy, well-made option that delivers good warmth and comfort at a reasonable price.

Soft, Warm & Cozy
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Queen
The BEDELITE Fluffy Queen Comforter Set is absolutely wonderful. I purchased it for my 75-year-old mom during her visit to Oregon, where the weather can be quite cool, and it was the perfect choice. The sherpa material is unbelievably soft and cozy without being too heavy. It kept her warm and comfortable, especially in the evenings, and she commented multiple times on how soft and luxurious it felt. The quality is excellent, and it looks great on the bed as well. If you’re looking for a warm, plush comforter that’s gentle, cozy, and ideal for cooler climates or older guests, this set is a fantastic purchase. We’re very happy with it and would definitely buy it again.

Review of bedlite fluffy comforter
Color: Grey, Size: Twin
The bed light fluffy twin comforter was terrific and well-made. I would say, however, as a person who runs cold that I needed to put an extra blanket on top of it. The comforter is warm for the spring and fall, but not for the winter. The other thing to mention is, it is a light comforter, and not a thick comforter for the winter. Overall, I would recommend the comforter is worth the value of the money you paid for it.

Color: Black, Size: Queen
very soft and comfortable, perfect for cold winter nights! it's just had to wash at home since it's so thick and big. if you have a big washer and dryer, i'd recommend it, but if not be prepared to go to the laundry mat every time you want to wash your bedding.
