In uncompromising and fresh prose, Tillman tells the story of three very
contemporary girls. Grace, Emily and Jane collide with friends, family,
and culture under dark and comic circumstances, presented in uncanny,
disturbing, and sometimes shocking terms. In Haunted Houses, Tillman
wries of the past within the present, and of the inescapability of
private memory and public history. A caustic account of how America
makes and unmakes a young woman.
