DescriptionNYC Launch Party for GHOSTED Tuesday, November 2nd at 7pm Solas Bar 232 E 9th St (between Stuyvesant St & 2nd Ave) New York, NY 10003 917-402-5217 http://www.yelp.com/biz/solas-new-york The official NYC launch of Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall's latest novel, GHOSTED. The book has been described as "an urban fairy tale as gritty and fantastic as anything by Chuck Palahniuk, but with a tender heart all its own," and The Canadian press has embraced Bishop-Stall's work as “nothing less than a masterpiece” (The National Post), “a rocky cruise along the edge of hell . . . remarkable” (The Globe and Mail), and “addictive” (The Toronto Star). Ghosted is a gritty literary thriller, a black comedy, a high-stakes poker caper, an urban cowboy adventure, and a love story. Bishop-Stall plunges fearlessly into the perilous terrain of drugs, love, and death in this ambitious debut. At 30, Mason Dubisee, aspiring novelist and social drifter, decides its finally time to settle down and so he takes a job as “The Dogfather,” a downtown hot dog vendor. When one day a mysterious customer offers him a job ghostwriting suicide notes for the despondent, Mason's life is complicated once more. A totaled hotdog cart, a sprung convict, a faked funeral, a scalped head, and a stolen horse later, Mason’s professional and personal lives have become irrevocably entangled and the line between suicide and murder hopelessly blurred.
