SynopsisBrings together some of the region's leading contemporary authors, from the anglophone, francophone and hispanophone Caribbean, as well as the United States and Canada, and constitutes a unique, transcultural anthology in which living authors evoke the dead, the undead and the dying, the ghosts that haunt their experiences and their works as modern writers of the Caribbean., The book is a collection of new and unpublished ghost stories written by some of the most celebrated contemporary writers of the Caribbean. It?s the first collection of its kind, and drawing on the anglophone, francophone, and hispanophone islands, the volume will be a landmark publication in Caribbean writing.
