Combining the wit of David Lodge with Poe's delicious sense of the macabre, these are three witty, spooky novellas of satire set in academia-a world where Derrida rules, love is a "complicated ideological position," and poetic justice is served with an ideological twist.

Review:

"Entirely delightful . . . wickedly funny . . . There hasn't been a genuinely adroit novel of academic manners since Randall Jarrell's Pictures from an Institution." --Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World

"Original, droll, startling . . . Witty and penetrating: Hynes creates pungent satires of academic life while at the same time infusing them with genuine suspense and real terror." --Kirkus Reviews

"A perfect blend of dark comedy and the ghost story, reminiscent of the best of T. C. Boyle and the best of Poe." --David Treuer, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"Hynes must have struck a pact with the devil when he began writing these tales because their tone is perfect." --Maureen Corrigan, National Public Radio

"Riveting . . . exhilarating . . . a work of sheer joy." --The New York Times Book Review

"Deliciously creepy novellas . . . Hynes's writing is diamond sharp, revealing his characters' souls as surely as a Judgement Day angel." --Amy Waldman, People

Synopsis:
Three short novellas comprise a unique collection of academic satire, in which a couple struggles with their tenure-track commuter marriage, an anthropologist witnesses a bizarre druidic ritual, and a junior history professor must defend her ideology and her life.
