Now back in print, Mrs. Caliban is totally unforgettable (The New York Times Book Review) and something of a miracle (The New Yorker) In the quiet suburbs, while Dorothy is doing chores and waiting for her husband to come home from work, not in the least anticipating romance, she hears a strange radio announcement about a monster who has just escaped from the Institute for Oceanographic Research Reviewers have compared Rachel Ingallss Mrs. Caliban to King Kong, Edgar Allan Poes stories, the films of David Lynch, Beauty and the Beast, The Wizard of Oz, E.T., Richard Yatess domestic realism, B-horror movies, and the fairy tales of Angela Carterhow such a short novel could contain all of these disparate elements is a testament to its startling and singular charm.
