{"book":{"book":"The Night Side of the River","author":"Jeanette Winterson","publicationYear":"","description":"The Night Side of the River is a collection of ghost stories authored by Jeanette Winterson that modernizes the supernatural horror genre. The book weaves in liminal spaces, comparable to modern Metaverses, that are generated through technology to allow the living to coexist with the dead. Winterson's stories investigate how digital realms and new technological landscapes can become fresh ground for hauntings and eerie encounters. The work offers a contemporary twist on classic ghost fiction while reflecting on memory, grief, and presence. It presents a haunting exploration of life, death, and the spaces between in our increasingly digitized world.","image":"https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/dims3/default/strip/false/crop/1900x1900+0+0/resize/3000/quality/66/format/jpg/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F64%2F9a%2F1da78d534b2f98f550cece3cf685%2Fe4ed431b-ed0c-49c2-b706-d38608adcc22.jpg","date":"2026-10-23"}}
