Zustand: NEAR FINE. 1st trade paperback printing. Novel by this Tennessee writer published posthumously. A young writer suffering from writer's block decides that the solution is to write a ghost story and - with his pregnant wife and young daughter - he sets out from Chicago to Tennessee to explore the myth of Virginia Beale. But this is much more than just a ghost story (although it is a very good one), or the history of hauntings over the years. As Binder's investigation takes him deeper into the legacy of blood and violence that casts its shadow over the old Beale farm, he finds himself obsessed with a force that's as wicked as it is seductive. Megan Abbott described this as "a tale so sinister, lush and spellbinding, it haunts your dreams long after you reach its final pages." Includes a biographical introduction by Tom Franklin and an account of the "Queen of the Haunted Dell." xii, 202 pp. Near fine in illustrated wrappers.…
