Night Side of the River
Night Side of the River | Jeanette Winterson
3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A captivating collection of ghost stories from one of the most gifted writers working today (New York Times), The Night Side of the River is as ingeniously provocative as it is downright spooky. In this delightfully chilling collection, the iconic Jeanette Winterson turns her fearless gaze to the realm of ghosts, interspersing her own encounters with the supernatural alongside hair-raising fictions. Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village sance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband. Gloriously gothic and unnervingly contemporary, Winterson examines grief, revenge, and the myriad ways in which technology can disrupt the boundary between life and death.

It is so cold here today. Thankfully, the ginger heater is keeping my legs warm as I pick up a new short story collection.

Great collection. Really enjoyed reading a story or two before bed over the past few weeks. The stories are grouped according to theme (Devices, Places, People, Visitations) with essays in between about Winterson‘s own experiences with the supernatural.

Tamra What a terrific cover! 11mo

My excellent gift for tonight‘s Christmas Eve- on the heels of my 5⭐️ reading of #Frankisstein I am really loving this as well- her introduction is a wandering through the history of ghosts as they are seen through culture and religion- as only she can! Happy December 24 reading night to us all!

jlhammar I‘m loving this collection so far! I‘m a little over halfway. Enjoy! 11mo
Booksnchill @jlhammar Thanks I will I am sure! 11mo
