Reviews and Praise:
"William Peter Blatty's excellent haunted house/ghost story,
Elsewhere, certainly brings into question Stephen King's recent assertion...
that the traditional ghost story is dead. It's Topper-like ending even injects
an appropriate dash of humour."
— Michael Revel Reviews
"Innovatively constructed and skillfully written, the short novel is witty,
scary, touching and thought-provoking."
— Chicago Tribune
"...a witty ghost story of Jamesian complexity."
— The Boston Herald
"...may be the first truly original haunted house story in decades."
— Denver Rocky Mountain News
"...an eerie new novel by William Peter Blatty."
— Library Journal

About the Cover Artist:
Bruce Haley is the recipient of the Robert Capa Gold Medal, one of
the most prestigious photography awards in the world. Haley received this honor
for his 1990 coverage of Burma's bloody ethnic civil war.
This self-taught photographer with a military and police background began his
career in 1988, covering Afghanistan's mujahideen resistance to Soviet
occupation; shortly thereafter the legendary Howard Chapnick accepted Haley
into Black Star, one of the industry's premiere photo agencies. With a
primary focus upon war and its aftermath, Haley photographed areas of conflict
in Asia, Africa, Europe and the former Soviet Union. His images (from Burma)
of a grisly execution by stabbing shocked the world and engendered much controversy
and discussion. He was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize by the Baltimore Sun in
1992, for helping to break the story of the famine in Somalia. Since the birth
of his son, Haley has eased away from the battlefield, exploring subjects as
diverse as the Bolivian altiplano, Eastern Europe's persecuted Roma (Gypsies),
and the decaying infrastructure of Soviet-era industry.
Haley's photographs have appeared in books, magazines and newspapers worldwide,
as well as in corporate publications and on CD, video and DVD covers; a list
of his clients would include Time, Life, U.S. News and World Report, The
London Sunday Times Magazine, Stern, GEO, Aperture, Georgia-Pacific, and
the Chevron Corporation. Numerous magazines and newspapers have profiled Haley
and his work, among them American PHOTO, (French) PHOTO, and
B&W. His limited-edition portfolio, entitled 13 Million Tons
of Pig Iron, was #1 on the Photo-Eye Bestseller List. Haley's exhibition
prints have hung worldwide, under the auspices of such disparate entities as
the Ansel Adams Gallery, the Visa pour l'Image in Perpignan, Photo Americas,
the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography and the United Nations.
