It is the 1920s, and Spiritualism is all the rage. With séances taking place in parlors across the country and Harry Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle arguing metaphysics in the papers, the media embraces the feverish obsession with the paranormal. Twenty-three-year-old Harvard graduate Martin Finch is sent by Scientific American on the investigative opportunity of a lifetime: an examination of the powers of Philadelphia "society psychic" Mina Crawley. But Finch, prepared to debunk a fraud, instead finds himself falling under the spell of the beguiling Mrs. Crawley - and uncovering a truth darker than anyone could have imagined.

Joseph Gangemi was born in 1970, in Wilmington, Delaware, United States.
Joseph Gangemi graduated from Swarthmore College with a Bachelor of Science in 1992.
Joseph Gangemi has become successful both as a screenwriter and novelist. After graduating from Swarthmore College, Gangemi worked at a number of different jobs: translator, a receptionist at a detective agency, typist, grant writer, and communications consultant for industry. In 1995, at the suggestion of friend Jon Cohen, he collaborated on the screenplay Thriller. Within two years Gangemi had given up his day job to concentrate on writing.
Since Gangemi was an avid science-fiction reader as a child, it comes as no surprise that Gangemi's first novel was a genre piece, the gothic novel Wither, which he penned with John Passarella under the joint pseudonym J. G. Passarella. Although Don D'Ammassa, writing in Science Fiction Chronicle, complained of the uneven pacing and lack of surprises and a Publishers Weekly contributor called the plot "derivative," other reviewers praised the novel, and some reviewers called it "a good choice for most horror collections."
In the early 2000s, while browsing in a Philadelphia gift shop, Gangemi happened across a book on the history of spiritualism in America. This title sparked the idea for his novel Inamorata, which centers on spiritualism in the 1920s, in particular, the offer by the editors of Scientific American of a five-thousand dollars prize to anyone who could find "conclusive psychic manifestations." Gangemi’s first-person narrator named Finch wants to disprove the so-called psychic abilities of Missis Crawley, an affluent Philadelphian. Finch finds his efforts thwarted, however, when he falls in love with this would-be medium. Inamorata elicited qualified praise from reviewers. Although Charles Matthews of the Chicago Tribune found the characters underdeveloped and the plot scattered, and Douglas Wolk called Gangemi's similes "ridiculous," other reviewers were more appreciative.
By 2004 Gangemi had written a handful of screenplays for a variety of production companies. Regarding the process of becoming a screenplay writer, he told Elizabeth Redden in the Swarthmore College Bulletin Online: "I’m convinced it takes ten years... It just takes time to figure out what you have to say and develop your craft so you have the ability to say it." Besides writing, Joseph Gangemi worked on different movies and TV shows, including Wind Chill, Stonehearst Asylum, which received mixed reviews, and also highly-acclaimed Red Oaks series.
