Teenagers philosophize on the nature of ontology, while fearing there's a ghost in the old mill they're stuck in; anxieties over finitude and terrorism are scrutinized; a man encounters an old friend in the unlikeliest of places; nineteenth-century inventor Sigismund Mohr is vividly brought back from obscurity; and two journalists travel to Kenya for a conference, where one of them has a paranoid breakdown. [i]It Is an Honest Ghost is a funny and often eerie collection that explores what lies beyond mortality—if anything, that is.John Goldbach is the author of [i]The Devil and the Detective (Coach House, 2013) and the collection [i]Selected Blackouts (Insomniac, 2009). He lives in Montreal, Quebec.
