The Highboy by Alison Lurie6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() The supernatural elements are equally varied. They range from sunny Florida to the rain-drenched English Lake District and from India and Africa to small and college town America. The settings are contemporary rather than Gothic. ![]() ![]() “Women and Ghosts” doesn’t seem to be available in ebook form but there is a good audio version (ideal for ghost stories) and cheap paperbacks are easy to get hold of.Īs you would expect from the title, all of the stories feature female characters who go through some kind of supernatural experience. Professor Lurie is best known for her witty novels, such as the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Foreign Affairs”, but she also has the knack of writing unsettling short stories. Since her field of study has been Children’s Literature and Fairy Tales, she knows a thing or two about story-telling. I’m continuing Ghost Month by recommending “Women and Ghosts”, a collection of ten supernatural stories by American author and academic, Alison Lurie. ![]()
