Abstract
The Visitors is set in the once-forgotten town of Galena, Illinois. In it, I investigate the dangers inherent when a town, its elderly and its children, is abandoned by all except those seeking the thrills and frivolity of a getaway. The novel’s landscape is haunted with spiritual anxiety, repressed memories—or memories that characters are desperate to repress, and personal connections that the characters are eager to shuck. The book is interested in the ways that people manipulate fact in order to create an apocryphal past, a personal narrative that explains the way a life is spent, justifies bitterness, or accounts for a fallen state.
