Overview

Malory walks home after an ordinarily gruelling night out, having escaped the company of her associates. Something ripples in the darkness. The shape of a figure. So begins a chain of events with the texture of dream plasma. A story of persecution mania. Professional ignominy. A sudden disappearance. The terror of seeing oneself too clearly... Part horror story, part tragicomic nightmare, Ghost Driver is a slim shudder of a novel about a woman who has taken every wrong turn available to her.

Reviews

‘Ghost Driver devises a new genre of administrative horror: by turns addictively morbid, comic and discomfortingly familiar. Malory’s inner and outer worlds, like the novel’s prose, feel agonisingly poised on a knife edge – gothic in the cruellest, off-kilter sense. I am obsessed.’ Daisy Lafarge ‘Nell Osborne is a genius. Ghost Driver is brilliant and hilarious and dark and true. I loved it.’ Sarah Bernstien
