"Lyrical and eerie . . . the prose is subtly alluring, such as the author's description of nature as 'a witch's brew of mistrust.' This sly and creepy drama is worth a look."--Publishers Weekly
A multigenerational and deeply autobiographical gothic tale of Hollywood dreams and upstate New York reality. Foreclosure Gothic reimagines the American Gothic against the backdrop of today's Hudson Valley. The story tells of ex-Hollywood actor Vic Greener as he falls in love with the elusive Heather Roswell and the couple, following in the footsteps of Vic's father, resolves to make a life restoring one foreclosed home after another. Then comes the uncanny, destabilizing arrival of new tenants in their duplex, and the Greener's shocking discovery upon their departure. With evocative and unsettling black and white photos throughout, this debut novel is at once a skewed portrait of three generations of Greener men, an intimate look at both childhood and parenthood and an examination of the friction between chasing one's dream and working to make money.
