by Danel Olson (Author)

This book explores ghostly presences in terrorism novels from New Yorkers Don DeLillo, Jonathan Safran Foer, Lynne Sharon Schwartz, Griffin Hansbury, & Patrick McGrath. Arguing how theories on trauma and gothic combine to interpret ghosts, Olson discusses what supernatural meetings express about grief, guilt, mental instability, & suicidal urges.
