The Businessman : A Tale of Terror
By Thomas M. DischFIRST BRITISH EDITION (1984) of Disch's foray into horror; this book was followed by "The M. D." and "The Priest." "The Businessman" presents the sinister tale of Bob Glandier, a morally repulsive Twin Cities executive who murders his estranged wife and attempts to go back to business as usual, until she returns sets about arranging his divine retribution. With help from her dead mother and the ghost of poet John Berryman-thoroughly bored of suburban séances and all too eager to lend a hand-Giselle undertakes the elaborate, righteous, and wickedly amusing haunting of her husband. There is justice in the afterlife after all-at least in Minnesota.
