New book. small octavo. hardback with dust jacket 297pp., illusts., sources, ÔMoses Harvey was the eccentric Newfoundland reverend and amateur naturalist who first photographed the near-mythic giant squid in 1874, draping it over a shower curtain rod to display its magnitude. In Preparing the Ghost, what begins as Moses' story becomes much more, as fellow squid-enthusiast Matthew Gavin Frank boldly winds his narrative tentacles around history, creative non-fiction, science, memoir, and meditations about the interrelated nature of them allÕ
