Just in time for Halloween you can grab Jennifer Egan’s excellent modern gothic “The Keep.” Set in a castle complete with ghosts and dungeons, the novel more than nods to its gothic genre. The psychological suspense of wandering the line between the real and imagined is the stuff of spooky nightmares without actually being all that scary.
Egan proves again to be masterful in the writing, hooking the reader from page one and off we go.
I freely admit this is a boring review. Deal with it.
