About The Exorcism of My Inner New Yorker
In the Exorcism of My Inner New Yorker, Cynthia Barris Delivers a raw, witty, and emotionally layered memoir that blends spiritual awakening with cultural identity, grief, love, and the art of letting go.
From her first ghostly encounter at the age two in a Manhattan apartment, Cynthia's life has been shaped by more than just the living. As a child medium in a no-nonsense Puerto Rican family, she quickly learned that seeing spirits is fine-as long as you keep it quiet and don't interrupt dinner. But silence has a cost.
As Cynthia navigates a world full of voices-both spectral and societal-she wrestles with cultural expectations, OCD, infertility, family loss, and the hard work of emotional healing. With humor and vulnerability, she explores what it means to be the family "seer" and the family secret. From noisy ghosts of New York to the quiet clarity of the Colorado mountains, Cynthia embarks on a journey to reclaim herself-not just as a medium, but as a woman who dares to grieve, to love again, and to finally exorcise the parts of her past that no longer serve her.
Woven with ancestral wisdom, kitchen-table confessions, and spiritual truths wrapped in sass, this memoir isn't just about talking to the dead-it's about listening to the living. Especially the voice within.
At once hilarious, heart-wrenching, and healing, The Exorcism of My Inner New Yorker is a love letter to messy transformation and to the parts of ourselves we finally choose to keep.
About A Walk Among Heroes
Through the eyes of T.J., a young soldier returning from World War II, and Smitty, a World War I ace haunted by the ghosts of his past, the story weaves a rich tapestry of interconnected lives shaped by war, hope, and resilience. Anchored by a love story that defies time, the novel masterfully bridges two world wars, exploring the bonds of family, the weight of duty, and the ultimate cost of heroism.
Two great authors, one cool cat, and all the haints await you during March Artwalk at The Haunted Book Shop. See you soon!
