Beschreibung

<b>Ghost Mother is a mesmerizing psychological ghost story that blurs the thin line between reality and delusion.<br><br> "<i>Ghost Mother</i> has so many pleasures: a gorgeous old wreck of a house, a charmingly flawed and sympathetic heroine, supernatural goings-on so real they feel historical, an incredible sex scene, no spoilers, and an enthralling story. It's the perfect summer book."<br> —Kate Christensen, PEN/Faulkner award-winning author of <i>The Great Man</i> and <i>Welcome Home, Stranger</i></b><br><br> Lilly Bly desperately wants to have a baby. She is struggling with infertility and bad spending habits when her husband, Jack, gets a new job that moves them from Chicago to a small town in Wisconsin. Impractical Lilly falls in love with a decrepit mansion well out of their price range—she is convinced that she will finally get pregnant and have a baby in this house—and Jack reluctantly agrees to buy the wreck. But when Lilly learns that her dream house was the site of a gruesome triple homicide/suicide in the 1950s, she begins to experience strange occurrences that soon lead her to believe the house is haunted. Are her ghostly encounters real, or is this a cascading mental breakdown? As Lilly learns more about the deaths and her visions become increasingly vivid, her relationship with Jack deteriorates, leading to a dramatic and irreversible climax.<br><br><b>Perfect for fans of classic, gothic horror fiction, like Henry James’s<i> The Turn of the Screw</i> and Shirley Jackson’s <i>The Haunting of Hill House</i>, as well as contemporary suspense and horror fiction by everyone from Stephen King to Ruth Ware.</b>
