LOVE THIS BOOK! Award-winning gay writer Michael Rowe is keeping us tense in bed these long winter nights with his dead-elegant ghost story, Wild Fell. Rowe mines the English language with inspiring skill, offering up exquisite prose about the dark secrets within a crumbling summer house in Ontario cottage country (“She had… skin like the inside of a peony petal”.) And the little girl who knows – as a kid in the 1970’s – who she is so well she chops her hair off and insists she be called ‘Hank’? Just made us melt. Yes, a ghost story like that. Only a writer as deft as Rowe could pull off such a heart melt – and then getcha with a heart stop. $18.95 at your favourite bookseller.
