About the author

Colm Toibin

Colm Toibin is a preeminent Irish literary novelist who has incorporated elements of Gothic horror and psychological suspense into his fiction. The Master, about Henry James, and Nora Webster contain elements of Gothic atmosphere. His work operates at the intersection of literary fiction and the thriller, with an Irish Gothic sensibility that recalls Sheridan Le Fanu.
