two fucked up chicks move into a loft haunted by the manuscript and soul of a writer who recently killed himself there. the short stories left behind by the writer are genuinely disturbing but the "real," framing story is just kinda undeveloped.

More of a framing device for a short story collection than an actual novel. Some of the stores are absolutely amazing, but the book as a whole gets somewhat scattered and the content around the stories actually takes away from the shorts instead of enhancing them. Still, definitely worth checking out for some of the best short fiction I've read in a while.

Two women move into an apartment inhabited by the not-yet-moved-on ghost of a writer. A pretty good read, but the strength and quality of the short stories scattered throughout the text, ostensibly written by the dead author, actually threatens to detract from the rest of the book, which is a little less cohesive, but still fun.
