Items related to The Businessman: A Tale of Terror (Supernatural Minnesota)
Synopsis
The Businessman presents the sinister tale of Bob Glandier, a morally repulsive Twin Cities executive who murders his estranged wife and attempts to go back to business as usual, until she returns sets about arranging his divine retribution. With help from her dead mother and the ghost of poet John Berryman-thoroughly bored of suburban séances and all too eager to lend a hand-Giselle undertakes the elaborate, righteous, and wickedly amusing haunting of her husband. There is justice in the afterlife after all-at least in Minnesota.

Review
"Each of the sixty short chapters of The Businessman is a tour de force." —Times Literary Supplement
"The Businessman is an entertaining nightmare out of Thomas Berger and Stephen King." —Time
"Equal measures of terror and whimsy, spookery and spoof . . . Disch puts his storytelling skills squarely at the service of a highly charged moral vision, without ever reneging on his promise to dazzle and entertain us." —Newsweek
