reviewed on + 19 more book reviews


The book includes one long novel and one short story.

Pennsylvania Gothic is a short story about a boy coming of age in 1960s Philidelphia. He develops a rather odd and awkward realtionship with the older woman next Door.

The Blacking Factory is the recollections of an old burnt-out cynical talk radio host and his tales of being sent to a boarding school in England.
