The Cabal and Other Stories - Hardcover

Ellen Gilchrist presents a whole new collection of stories with all the humor, passion, and fun her fans have come to expect from her. The centerpiece of this collection is "The Cabal", a novella in which a psychiatrist in Jackson, Mississippi, suddenly goes mad himself, revealing the confidential secrets and embarrassing misdeeds of his patients -- prominent local citizens all. The result is a hilarious and bitingly ironic tale. The five short stories that follow are classic Gilchrist, including another witty and wise account of Miss Crystal by Traceleen. From a literary writer struggling in Hollywood to the mysterious appearance of thirty-six gold coins in a small southern town, there is enough warmth and wit in these stories to delight both old and new Gilchrist fans.
