Since her acclaimed novel A Carnivore's Inquiry, Sabina Murray has been celebrated for her mastery of the gothic. Now in Muckross Abbey and Other Stories, she returns to the genre, bringing readers to haunted sites from a West Australian convent school to the moors of England to the shores of Cape Cod in ten strange tales that are layered, meta, and unforgettable. From a twisted recasting of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca, an actor who dies for his art only to haunt his mother's house, to the titular "Muckross Abbey," an Irish chieftain burial site cursed by the specter of a flesh eating groom-in this collection Murray gives us painters, writers, historians, and nuns all confronting the otherworldly in fantastically creepy ways. With notes of Wharton and James, Stoker and Shelley, now drawn into the present, these macabre stories are sure to captivate and chill."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Short stories. 655 7 $a Gothic fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Hennessey, Gabriel, $e illustrator. 941 $a 3 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011545.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230411012656.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230404020030.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0484633CD2B111ED872B743748ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
