The year is 2009, and the world’s financial and publishing sectors are in chaos. In the midst of this disarray, a burned-out horror writer finds himself haunted by a variety of ghosts, both real and metaphorical. And as the ghosts increase their attacks, his struggle to make a living quickly becomes a fight to hold on to his family – and his very sanity.
Considered by critics to be one of Brian Keene’s best works, The Girl on the Glider has been long out of print – until now! Includes a brand-new Afterword by the author.
I’m glad you released this, sir. Read it straight through last night, including the afterword. Writing is enough of a high-wire act without electing to do it ballsout naked. Over and above delivering a good read, I commend you for your bravery – especially the passage in the Afterword regarding possible negative reviews. Without putting words in your mouth, it was gratifying for me as a reader to see a writer I admire state flat-out that he will not be held hostage by a subset of his fanbase. Nor by anyone, for that matter. Except perhaps his muse.
Ordered it today and am looking forward to reading it.
Thanks Brian,
I just downloaded it and will leave a review for you on Amazon when I am done with it.
Read it today and it gave me the heebie jeebies. I’ve always wanted to use that phrase. I think this has just surpassed Terminal as my favorite work.
Just finished it. Really liked it. It reminded me of one of Charles Grant’s old stories. Very detailed. I left a review on Amazon.
I really thought the ghost story was interesting. I have been a paranormal investigator for many years and this is how hauntings usually conduct themselves. Activity, then very quiet.
Any plans to write more ghost novels Brian? I love your monster and zombie stuff but would like to see you venture more in this area.
