A masterful and eerie collection of ghost stories from Sunday Times bestselling author Jeanette Winterson
Our lives are digital, exposed and always-on. We track our friends and family wherever they go. We have millennia of knowledge at our fingertips.
We know everything about our world. But we know nothing about theirs.
We have changed, but our ghosts have not. They've simply adapted and innovated, found new channels to reach us. They inhabit our apps and wander the metaverse just as they haunt our homes and our memories, always seeking new ways to connect.
To live amongst us.
To remind us.
To tempt us.
To take their revenge.
These stories are not ours to tell. They are the stories of the dead - of those we've lost, loved, forgotten... and feared. Some are fiction. But some may not be.

A captivating and chilling collection examining grief, revenge and how technology can breach the boundary between life and death Spine-chillingly good Jeanette Winterson brings the classic gothic literature theme into the 21st century by imagining what happens when the undead have to find modern ways to reach out to us... This collection is as hair-raising and suspenseful as it is witty and thought-provoking A thought-provoking collection of short stories, interspersed with memories of her own unexplained encounters with the paranormal… The theme that runs through all the stories is loss and how it haunts the living Expand reviewsWant the printed book?
