Synopsis
The film noir version of growing up female. In uncompromising prose, Tillman tells the story of three girls, Grace, Emily and Jane, and their transition to womanhood. Colliding with culture, family and friends under dark and comic circumstances, Tillman presents three very contemporary lives in uncanny, disturbing and sometimes shocking terms.

Review
?One of the most influential, complex and enigmatic figures in modern American literature...her style is laconic and icy, like a hip Jane Austen? Scotland on Sunday ?One of the most interesting works of fiction in recent times... Fans of both truth and fancy should find nourishment here? LA Weekly ?In Haunted Houses, Lynne Tillman chronicles the loneliness of childhood and incipient womanhood, the salvation of friendship, and the neurotic chain that binds perpetually needy daughters to their perpetually self-absorbed parents? New York Times Book Review
From the Back Cover
Praise for Lynne Tillman
"Lynne Tillman has always been a hero of mine--not because I 'admire' her writing, (although I do, very, very much), but because I feel it. Imagine driving alone at night. You turn on the radio and hear a song that seems to say it all. That's how I feel..." -- Jonathan Safran Foer
"One of America's most challenging and adventurous writers." -- "Guardian"
"Like an acupuncturist, Lynne Tillman knows the precise points in which to sink her delicate probes. One of the biggest problems in composing fiction is understanding what to leave out; no one is more severe, more elegant, more shocking in her reticences than Tillman." -- Edmund White
"Anything I've read by Tillman I've devoured." -- Anne K. Yoder, "The Millions"
"If I needed to name a book that is maybe the most overlooked important piece of fiction in not only the 00s, but in the last 50 years, [American Genius, A Comedy] might be the one. I could read this back to back to back for years." -- Blake Butler, "HTML Giant"
