The novels of Toronto writer Andrew Pyper have long exhibited a fascination with the fantastic and the horrific. Bookended by two ghost stories (1999’s Lost Girls and 2011’s The Guardians), Pyper’s canon also includes a violent and macabre journey through the Amazon, an intense battle between man and fire, and an account of a writing group gone horribly, homicidally wrong. Whatever the subject matter, Pyper’s novels are characterized by tension rising to almost unbearable levels, and malevolent forces that defy easy or comfortable understanding.
