Sobre este artículo
New York: Bloomsbury Publishing, 2005. Hardcover. Good Plus to Very Good/Good Plus to Very Good. McGrath's fiction is often compared to works by Poe, Wilde, Kafka, and King and other writers of Gothic horror. Joyce Carol Oates noted his stories are "the nightmares of shattered personalties . bold, original and disquieting tales. told by narrators who are themselves bizarre." "Ghost Town" is a collection of three such stories set in New York City in three different centuries, beginning with a Revolutionary War hanging, then a 19th century merchant who drives his son insane and finally a Manhattan psychiatrist trying to treat a patient with PTSD from the World Trade Center attacks, not realizing she herself was also traumatized by 9/11. First edition, first U.S. printing (as stated, with complete numberline). About 4 3/4 x 7 1/4 inches, 243 pages in boards decorated with wrap-around b & w photo showing NYC skyline with Statue of Liberty in NY harbor in foreground. Title and author in grey and black lettering in white box on spine.
