Summary of The Ferryman Summary of The Ferryman Reviews for The Ferryman An Excerpt from The Ferryman
“A powerful and haunting tale” (Clive Barker) from the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Strangewood.

Janine Hartschorn left David Bairstow for a man who abandoned her once he discovered she was pregnant with his child. A miscarriage almost ended her life. Now she and David are reaching for a second chance.

But something is determined to keep them apart. Something with the power to conjure up ghosts from David’s past and make them real. Something Janine knows from her near-death experience.

“Golden delivers...good, old-fashioned storytelling with a contemporary sensibility. There’s no lack of tension, and he doesn’t back away from the consequences of the darkness he has set upon his characters.”—Charles de Lint

“A compulsive read, one I finished in a single sleep-deprived night. The characters are easy to care about, the story unpredictable and involving.”—Poppy Z. Brite

“Low key but quite effective horror.”—Don D’Ammassa

“An intelligent, compelling ghost story in the classic horror tradition...Superior characterization, an exquisitely detailed setting and superbly orchestrated suspense.”—Publishers Weekly

“Tight, focused and almost claustrophobically intimate.”—Fangoria
