"Few writers do psychosexual horror as well as Toronto''s David Nickle, and with The ''Geisters he''s back with another tale of voluptuous terror and the supernatural." —Toronto Star "This is a book that buzzes in your ears, climbs your crawling skin with multiple barbed feet, feeling with exquisitely sensitive antennae for the next new and terrible revelation." —The National Post "[The ''Geisters] doesn''t just explore the attractiveness of terror—it embodies it in a narrative that demands (excites even as it repels) your attention. It''s a(nother) strong novel by one of the best, most interesting horror writers working today." —Bookgasm
