Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) was an American author known for her suspense and psychological thriller novels. Her debut novel, "Strangers on a Train" (1950), was adapted into a film by Alfred Hitchcock, and her novel "The Talented Mr. Ripley" (1955) was adapted into a 1999 film starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Highsmith's works often explored themes of homosexual undertones and featured anti-hero protagonists.

Patricia Highsmith's "The Price of Salt," also known as "Carol," explores a compelling tale of love and obsession. Under the pseudonym Clare Morgan, Highsmith crafts a narrative centered on the intense relationship between two women. "A Suspension of Mercy," alternatively titled "The Story-Teller," delves into the psychological intricacies of a writer's life teetering on the edge of reality. Highsmith's "Eleven," also published as "The Snail Watcher and Other Stories," offers a collection of unsettling tales. "Tales of Obsession" features contributions from renowned authors such as Joan Hess, Evan Hunter, and P.D. James, focusing on themes of fatal attractions and deadly desires.
