Soon, Ann will find herself in a perverse battle against a group of men who want to wrest control of the Insect from her. What they don&;t know is, if you play with the Insect, you&;re sure to get stung . . .

&;Few writers do psychosexual horror as well as Toronto&;s David Nickle, and with The &;Geisters he&;s back with another tale of voluptuous terror and the supernatural.&; &;Toronto Star

&;This is a book that buzzes in your ears, climbs your crawling skin with multiple barbed feet, feeling with exquisitely sensitive antennae for the next new and terrible revelation.&; &;The National Post

&;[The &;Geisters] doesn&;t just explore the attractiveness of terror&;it embodies it in a narrative that demands (excites even as it repels) your attention. It&;s a(nother) strong novel by one of the best, most interesting horror writers working today.&; &;Bookgasm
