Devotees of acclaimed queer author Jeanette Winterson will follow her anywhere — including her new collection of ghost stories, 'Night Side of the River.'
'You have no idea how dreary it is to be dead,' says Pamela, and she should know. She was thrown off a balcony by the scion of a once-wealthy British family now making ends meet by hosting ghost tourism in their 17th-century pile … and she's baaaack. She supposedly ran off with a car dealer from New Jersey — so the family is in for a few more shocks than they bargained for.
This might take the form of the ghost in the machine, whether an avatar unleashed from its human counterpart or an app with a mind of its own. Anyone who's had perky birthday reminders about dead friends from Facebook will probably not find the JohnApp tormenting the not-really grieving widow much of a stretch. And the sad divorcée's ever-deeper retreat into her virtual world will make sense to anyone familiar with immersive video games.
