Produktbeschreibung
There is a curse on Point Vestal. Time moves differently in this sleepy Northwestern coastal town, where the ghosts of the past roam the streets as readily as the living inhabitants. It´s still the late 19th century, and underneath the quaint touristy allure of the commingling of the past and present is a lurking darkness. August Starling, a decadent (and dead) crime baron, has a plan for Point Vestal because the magical nature of the town is a haven for sinners fleeing judgment for their crimes. And the only residents who can stop him are newcomers to town: a defrocked Episcopalian priest and a talking cat, who is fluent in seven languages.The Off Season is an effusive meditation on the nature of the fantastic, by a writer the Atlanta Constitution calls "e;a lasting voice in modern American literature."e; Cady, winner of both the Nebula and the World Fantasy Award, has given us "e;a consummate yarn, told with many digressions and anecdotes that combine with folksy humor to create a tall tale suffused with pathos and melancholy."e; (The Seattle Times)
