Please join us for a launch event and in-conversation on November 2nd to celebrate the publication of Victoria Nelson's first novel Neighbor George.
Victoria will be joined by Roger Luckhurst, Professor in Modern and Contemporary Literature at Birkbeck and editor of the forthcoming 'Gothic: An Illustrated History' for Thames and Hudson.
Neighbor George, is a disarmingly engaging, and ultimately terrifying, tale of cosmic horror set in the Bohemian enclaves of 1970s California. Deeply informed by her own studies of the supernatural, charted in her widely-admired non-fiction books, The Secret Life of Puppets and Gothicka (both Harvard University Press), Neighbor George is an enigmatic story of psychological horror enacted in the space where the natural and supernatural collide.
“Compelling and wittily written... elegant prose... gathers monstrous menace and then raises us towards mystery and awe.” Ramsey Campbell
"If Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock had collaborated to write a novel that would scare you senseless, they might have come up with Victoria Nelson’s Neighbor George." Mary Mackey
"Neighbor George will join canonical California
novels” Rob Sean Wilson
