Acclaimed as among the twenty greatest post-war American novels, Mrs. Caliban has all the elements of a late-night movie: unnatural sex, a demon lover, a fatal car chase, a jasmine hint of M. Butterfly, and a dash of X-Files. A mesmerizing tale that haunts and transports the reader long after the last page.

Work Description

In the quiet suburbs, while Dorothy is doing chores and waiting for her husband to come home from work, not in the least anticipating romance, she hears a strange radio announcement about a monster who has just escaped from the Institute for Oceanographic Research... Reviewers have compared Rachel Ingalls's Mrs. Caliban to King Kong, Edgar Allan Poe's stories, the films of David Lynch, Beauty and the Beast, The Wizard of Oz, E.T., Richard Yates's domestic realism, B-horror movies, and the fairy tales of Angela Carter--how such a short novel could contain all of these disparate elements is a testament to its startling and singular charm.
