Jon Michael Varese
The Spirit Photographer
Saturday, May 5, 5 pm
Jon Michael Varese is a literary historian who lives in Kinderhook, New York.
In his deftly plotted first novel, The Spirit Photographer, Varese conjures the Reconstruction era South, replete with fugitive hunters, voodoo healers, and dangers lurking in the swamp.
The Spirit Photographer is an intense tale of death and betrayal that will thrill readers as they unravel the dreadful mystery behind the spirit in the photograph and what ultimately became of her.
Discover our author series Live at the Chatham Bookstore. Visiting authors read from their work, share a conversation with Thomas Chulak from the bookstore, and a Q&A with those in attendance. Hope to see you there!
