When a woman marries an older man and moves to a quiet Hudson Valley community, ghosts from the past and future begin to haunt her life, and she quickly finds herself in a world that has somehow unmade itself.
Jonathan Carroll is the kind of writer who makes Stephen King enthusiastic: "A gorgeous, frightening, imaginative, loving, unsettling, funny, gruesome, thought-provoking novel. It is a page-turner par excellence" he said on Bones of the Moon. He is also the kind of writer who delights Orson Scott Card: "This is the kind or horror fantasy that I enjoy. Its object is...to create the frisson of awe that the world might really be as strange and terrible as this, " said Card on Black Cocktail Now Carroll returns with a new novel of the bizarre and the fantastic, The Marriage of Sticks, a work that will confirm his position at the leading edge of the genre and in American literature. A hip young woman sees an uncanny old woman in a wheelchair by the freeway in the middle of nowhere. Back home in New York City, she falls in love with and marries an older man. They move to a large old house in the suburbs along the Hudson River, and she begins to see ghosts -- ghosts from her past and ghosts from the future. Then, as in vintage Carroll, things get really strange. This may well be Carroll's best fantasy novel, and is sure to be an important novel in 1999.
