This Queer Book Saved My Life

7 Minutes in Book Heaven with Rebecca Turkewitz and Here in the Night


Listen Later

Welcome to our Summer of Book Love series!
Our series concludes today as we meet Rebecca Turkewitz and her new new spooky story collection: Here in the Night.  New episodes of This Queer Book Saved My Life! drop next Tuesday! September 19th!

What's it about? The thirteen stories in Rebecca Turkewitz’s debut collection, Here in the Night, are engrossing, strange, eerie, and emotionally nuanced. Preoccupied with all manner of hauntings, these stories traverse a boarding school in the Vermont woods, the jagged coast of Maine, an attic in suburban Massachusetts, an elevator stuck between floors, and the side of an unlit highway in rural South Carolina.

At the center of almost every story is the landscape of night, with all its tantalizing and terrifying potential. After dark, the familiar becomes unfamiliar, boundaries loosen, expectations fall away, and even the greatest skeptics believe—at least fleetingly—that anything could happen.
