Praise for Living in Cemeteries:
“Does friendship/love or ghostly determinism rule the day? The spirits are alive on Cape Cod in Corey Farrenkopf’s Living Cemeteries. A strange, beguiling, ghostly romp that reads as though Wes Anderson novelized Peter Jackson’s The Frighteners. I’m here for it.”
–Paul Tremblay, the nationally best-selling author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts
