Apparition & Late Fictions: A Novella and Stories

Thomas Lynch

These stories are linked by the gone and not forgotten: former spouses, dead parents, missing children. Lynch creates a world in which people searching for connection and old comforts find them both near at hand and oddly out of reach.

Praise for this book

It may be difficult to discern which has had a greater influence on Lynch, his Irish ethnicity or his Michigan upbringing, but the result is a lyricism coupled with a locale of abundant natural beauty and an attachment to the offbeat characters who are its inhabitants.--Robert Birnbaum "The Morning News"
[Lynch] writes with a poetic precision and beauty capable of inspiring sheer joy.--Christopher Walton "Detroit Free Press"
Meditative and politely laconic, this is a terrific collection from a writer who thinks and feels and tells stories with an engagingly distilled candor and assurance all his own.--Eileen Battersby "Irish Times"
A powerful, meditative collection. The title story is a masterpiece.-- "Library Journal"
