'Shapton expertly manipulates the unsaid and unseen to evoke hauntings—both supernatural and entirely human.'
Artist and writer Leanne Shapton’s latest work is a quick read that packs an unexpected punch. Using black-and-white imagery and illustrations alongside sparse writing, she expertly manipulates the unsaid and unseen to evoke hauntings—both supernatural and entirely human. Some of her “ghost stories” are traditional. In “Peele House,” a dwelling’s inhabitants experience strange phenomenon linked to deaths on the property. Other stories are evocative of the way memories can haunt.
While closer to an art object than a work of prose, there are moments when this restrained collection captures a raw emotional complexity that will haunt readers long after reading. Guestbook: Ghost Stories was published March 26, 2019. This article originally appeared in the July/August 2019 print edition of BUST Magazine.
