About
"Turkewitz's nimble prose switches on a dime between soft and sharp, poignant and brutal, alien and achingly familiar... This is a triumph."--Publisher's Weekly
"These are…ghost stories about the power of ghost stories, the way they reflect and transmute shared fears"--The New York Times
The thirteen stories in Here in the Night are engrossing, strange, eerie, and emotionally nuanced. With psychological insight and finely crafted prose, Here in the Night investigates the joys and constraints of womanhood, of queerness, and of intimacy. Preoccupied with all manner of hauntings, these stories traverse a boarding school in the Vermont woods, the jagged coast of Maine, an attic in suburban Massachusetts, an elevator stuck between floors, and the side of an unlit highway in rural South Carolina.
At the center of almost every story is the landscape of night, with all its tantalizing and terrifying potential.
These stories will stay with you.
