In Ghoster, a woman’s search for her missing boyfriend leads her into a chilling world of obsession, digital secrets, and the supernatural.
In Ghoster, Jason Arnopp crafts a gripping supernatural thriller that intertwines the realms of social media and the unknown. The story revolves around Kate Collins, who finds herself in a disconcerting situation after moving to Brighton to start a new life with her boyfriend, Scott. Instead of a warm welcome, she discovers an empty flat and no sign of Scott, who has mysteriously vanished, leaving behind only his mobile phone. This unsettling predicament sets the stage for a chilling exploration of obsession and the darker sides of technology.
As Kate delves into Scott’s digital life, she succumbs to the temptation of hacking into his phone, a decision that spirals her into a world of eerie phone calls from unknown numbers and inexplicable scratch marks on her door. The tension mounts as she grapples with the unsettling feeling of being watched, raising questions about trust, love, and the consequences of digital intrusion. Ghoster examines how far one might go to uncover the truth, even when it leads to terrifying revelations.
Arnopp's narrative is both twisty and immersive, offering readers a thought-provoking commentary on social media addiction and obsession. With endorsements from notable authors, Ghoster promises to be an unforgettable read, challenging perceptions of reality and prompting readers to reconsider their relationship with technology. Prepare for a haunting journey that lingers long after the last page is turned.

Anyone who doesn't pick this up deserves to get a serious case of FOMO. Read this on a long train journey and was so absorbed I missed my stop. A fiendishly smart exploration of obsession and social media addiction, GHOSTER will haunt you in more ways than one. Compulsively readable, terrifying and laced with Jason Arnopp's trademark wit, you'll never look at your phone in the same way again. Loved it. * Sarah Lotz *
A blistering satire of our digital lives disguised as a creepy thriller . . . The story slowly morphs into something wholly unexpected-a twisty tale that just might qualify as the first true 21st-century horror story * B&N Scifi & Fantasy Blog *
Often funny and always unnerving * Ars Technica *
This is an absolute barn-burner of a novel, a page-turning ambulance ride with danger at every turn... Arnopp has written a rollicking, disturbing horror story that's also a biting commentary on the seductive nature of today's tech * Booklist *
Spooky, funny, and, perhaps most importantly, in touch with the way young people use technology * A. V. Club *
