HTML:??A masterpiece . . . seamlessly mixes psychological disintegration, the dissolution of a marriage and . . . a classic ghost story.???USA Today NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE ? NATIONAL BESTSELLER /> ??Angelica impresses first as a clever send-up of the late Victorian novel, and then becomes its own very original thing. It is engrossing, deeply moving, and??precisely because it is moving??very frightening.???Stephen King London, the 1880s. In the dark of night, a chilling spectre is making its way through the Barton household, hovering over the sleeping daughter and terrorizing her fragile mother. Are these visions real, or is there something more sinister, and more human, to fear? As the family??s story is told several times from different perspectives, events are recast, sym- pathies shift, and nothing is as it seems.
Set at the dawn of psychoanalysis and the peak of spiritualism??s acceptance, Angelica is a spellbinding Victorian ghost story, an intriguing literary and psychological puzzle, and a thoroughly modern exploration of identity, reality, and love.
Praise for Angelica

My least favorite Phillips novel so far but that still puts it far above most stuff out there. Yes it is redundent and maybe sort of a failed experiment in pseudo-Victorian novel writing but his themes of relativity and perspective are portrayed in an unique manner that's somewhat enjoyable. ( )

Scientific examination of the spiritual or "occulist" experience demonstrates that haunting can emerge from the forgotten depths of our own past, and assume physical and externalized form, now independent of the memories that spawned it, as Athena sprang from the head of Zeus, of him but at once free of him. Memories and ghost are not so easily distinguished as previous generations have assumed. -Sir Everett D'Oyly, 1889

I suppose my prescribed busywork should begin as a ghost story, since that was surely Constance's experience of these events.

Your promises unfulfillable, my fascination fading, you ache to summon from your waiting room-with your seductive scientific mien-the next pretty hysteric.
