  A captivating collection of ghost stories from "one of the most gifted writers working today" (New York Times), The Night Side of the River is as ingeniously provocative as it is downright spooky. 
   
   
   
  In this delightfully chilling collection, the iconic Jeanette Winterson turns her fearless gaze to the realm of ghosts, interspersing her own encounters with the supernatural alongside hair-raising fictions. Lifting the veil between the living and the dead, Winterson spirits us away to a haunted estate that ensnares a nomadic young couple in its own dark past, a staged immersive ghost tour gone awry, a West Village séance that threatens the bounds between AI and reality, and a vacation home in the metaverse where a widow visits an improved version of her deceased husband. Gloriously gothic and unnervingly contemporary, Winterson examines grief, revenge, and the myriad ways in which technology can disrupt the boundary between life and death.

  The story revolves around John, Mary, and their daughter Emily, who move 
  into the eerie Blackwood Manor. From the moment they arrive, they are 
  confronted with unsettling occurrences and a palpable sense of decay and
   malevolence. The house seems to pulse with a low hum, and the silence 
  is pregnant with something unseen and sinister. As they settle in, they 
  experience cold spots, whispers, and shadows that seem to move on their 
  own. Emily becomes increasingly affected, experiencing vivid nightmares 
  and visions of a fiery claw and shadowy figures.
   
  
  The family discovers a hidden compartment in the attic containing 
  photographs and newspaper clippings about the previous occupants, the 
  Vance family, who mysteriously disappeared in 1889. The clippings 
  mention a legend of the "Claw of Fire," a shadowy entity associated with
   the house. They also find a journal written by Eleanor Vance, detailing
   the family's terrifying experiences and their attempts to contain the 
  entity through a ritual.
   
  John, Emily, and Sarah decide to perform the ritual to banish the 
  entity. They gather the necessary artifacts and descend into the 
  subterranean chamber beneath the house. The ritual is complex and 
  dangerous, requiring precise timing and movements. As they perform the 
  ritual, the entity emerges, a monstrous form of fire and shadow. The 
  battle is fierce, but they manage to channel their combined energy and 
  banish the entity, though at a great cost.
