The Ghost Writer - Pre Launch copy - Limited numbers

Edgar Johnson is a failed writer and retired librarian, living alone in a house haunted by the murmurings of his rejected manuscripts.

But they’re not the only ones haunting him.

When forgotten minor characters from classic novels begin to appear—insisting he give them the stories they never had—Edgar clutches at a last chance for redemption. At first, it’s a revelation: the boy who brought Scrooge his turkey, a forgotten Bennett sister from Pride and Prejudice, and the postman from The Thirty-Nine Steps, all step into vivid new lives under his pen.

But when Father Ferapont—the mad monk from The Brothers Karamazov—arrives, he proves one character too many. Delusional and messianic, Ferapont begins to imprison Edgar in a world where fiction and madness intertwine, and escape seems impossible.

Edgar’s only hope lies with a young medium on the verge of fame—but he has ghosts of his own, and a future just as fragile as Edgar’s.

A darkly inventive novel about failure, forgiveness, and the characters we leave behind.
