The Wow Signal

Rate this book
A faded TV queen takes delicious, devastating revenge on the man who ruined her career. A couple, breaking up, burn their conjugal bed on a beach in the northwest of Ireland. A woman in San Francisco, coming to terms with the suicide of her lover, discovers that she's carrying his child. A man who may be the reincarnation of a murderer, watches the ghost of the victim in the house across the street - as she draws him towards a stunning confrontation. Already acclaimed on individual publication, the stories in The Wow Signal are beautifully written vignettes that have a filmic quality. One story has, in fact, been filmed, starring Gina McKee and Aidan Gillen. Another has won a Cinescape award in the United States. In The Wow Signal, you'll find terror and wonder, love and regret, and a vision of the world that ranges from haunting tragedy to the darkest comedy.
