Summary

The dazzling and genre-bending new collection of ghost stories from Sunday Times bestseller Jeanette Winterson

‘Spine-chillingly good’ iNEWS

‘Winterson the artist at her most potent’ GUARDIAN

Our lives are now digital, exposed and always-on. We have changed, but our ghosts have not. They’ve simply adapted and innovated. 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.

‘Engrossing… A must-read’ ELLE

‘Playful and poignant’ OBSERVER

‘Captivating and chilling’ DAILY EXPRESS
