Stoker winner Gwendolyn Kiste holds up a dark, queer mirror to The Great Gatsby in IN THESE GILDED, GHOSTLY HEARTS, a haunting exploration of the obsession and control at the edges of an American classic.
In 1955, Daisy Buchanan is found dead in an abandoned West Egg mansion, but her daughter Mel knows she's really been gone for years. No one knows whether Daisy was murdered, or if it was a simpler, slower death: her yearslong spiral of alcohol, abuse, and helplessness. But when Mel enters the estate, she finds Daisy's ghost, somehow frozen at twenty-three, and a charming, bleeding phantom that used to be Jay Gatsby.
To free her mother, Mel must carve a path through family secrets and decaying revelers: deep into Gatsby's starving house as it gorges itself on unfulfilled love and grows stronger every night.
GWENDOLYN KISTE is the four-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Rust Maidens, Reluctant Immortals, Pretty Marys All in a Row, and The Haunting of Velkwood. She's a Lambda Literary Award winner, and her fiction has been nominated for the Shirley Jackson, Premios Kelvin, Ignotus and Dragon Awards. Originally from Ohio, she now resides on an abandoned horse farm outside of Pittsburgh with her husband, their excitable calico cat, and not nearly enough ghosts.
