Haunted Houses
ByPublisher Description
The film noir version of growing up female. In uncompromising prose, Tillman tells the story of three girls, Grace, Emily and Jane, and their transition to womanhood. Colliding with culture, family and friends under dark and comic circumstances, Tillman presents three very contemporary lives in uncanny, disturbing and sometimes shocking terms.

“I was perpetually confused when reading this”
“It’s exciting to see Tillmans world come alive and capture the essence of becoming an adult when you’re a girl figuring herself out. It’s complex, multilayered and compulsive prose that meanders like a spewing train of thought, yet remains dignified in its lack of elegance. Brilliant. But not her best!”
