The man's fate is as lithe as a snake. The worst things happen when the snake is wrapped around his neck, and it succeeds in strangling him… In a magical world called Shallowland, an eccentric photographer, the Man in the stovepipe hat, and his wife, Magiana, struggle to prove that ghosts not only exist, but the dead can be captured along with their living relatives. Facing skeptical foes, rationalists, and an insidious beau, they are forced to reveal a profound mystery in a sensational trial for fraud and larceny. And that is a mystery that can be caught by the hood while riding, but just in a single place. In Death. The Trickster Dreamer is a surreally imagined inquiry into human’s dream of immortality on the edge of a precarious love, supernatural and fraud. This absorbing timeless tale, inspired by spiritualism and the inventor of spirit photography in 1860’s Boston, William Mumler, is beautifully illustrated with period art.
