Summary:
"HAUNTED is a novel made up of stories: twenty-three of them, to be
precise. Twenty-three of the most horrifying, hilarious,
mind-blowing, stomach-churning tales you'll ever encounter sometimes
all at once. They are told by people who have answered an ad
headlined 'Artists' Retreat: Abandon Your Life for Three Months' and
who are led to believe that here they will leave behind all the
distractions of "real life" that are keeping them from creating the
masterpiece that is in them. But 'here' turns out to be a cavernous
and ornate old theater where they are utterly isolated from the
outside world and where heat and power and, most important, food are
in increasingly short supply. And the more desperate the
circumstances become, the more desperate the stories they tell and
the more devious their machinations become to make themselves the
hero of the inevitable play/movie/nonfiction blockbuster that will
certainly be made from their plight."--Publisher's description.
