description: Dr. Edith Vane scholar of English literature is contentedly ensconced at the University of Inivea. Her dissertation on pioneer housewife memoirist Beulah Crump-Withers is about to be published and she's on track for tenure if only she can fill out her AAO properly. She's a little anxious but a new floral blouse and her therapist's repeated assurance that she is the architect of her own life should fix that. All should be well really. Except for her broken washing machine her fickle new girlfriend her missing friend Coral her backstabbing fellow professors a cutthroat new deanand the fact that the sentient and malevolent Crawley Hall has decided it wants them all out and the hall and its hellish hares will stop at nothing to get rid of them.Like an unholy collision of Stoner The Haunting of Hill House Charlie Brown and Alice in Wonderland this audacious new novel by the Giller Prizelonglisted Suzette Mayr is a satire that takes the hallowed halls of the campus novel in fantasticaland unsettlingdirections.
