Produktbeschreibung

"A masterful exhibition in storytelling; a breathless page-turner. Ligon drives his narrative like a formula one racer. Buckle your seat belts and get ready for a thrilling ride."Jonathan Evison, West of Here

"Part meditation on modern love's dark and often unexamined underbelly; part can't-put-it-down-even-for-a-dinner-break-thriller, this novel contains one of the most convincingly and complicatedly terrifying fictional characters I have run into."Pam Houston, Contents May Have Shifted

"A wildly original love story, a ghost story, a tense and suspenseful story in which the wickedly talented Ligon channels voicesof the lost, the longing, and the damned."Jess Walter, We Live in Water
