Almost a Ghost Story cover

Marin, Ronan, Hollis, and Jay – each tethered to grief, guilt, or unfinished love – meet onboard an Isle of Wight Ferry, but is it for the first time? And who of them are alive? Only those with a return ticket have a chance of escaping the strange ghost world of this  Southhampton bound ferry.
 A chilling rule governs their passage: no new tickets, only exchanges. Marin and Ronan must journey through love and loss to try and rewrite fate. But as Hollis and Jay swap their tickets, secrets unravel, and tragic connections are revealed. Caught between the liminal world of the ferry and life on the Island, memory becomes a map , beguiling  and  deceptive as we all choose what to remember.
For readers of Sarah Perry and Hilary Mantel 

Praise for Emily Bullock:


Startlingly original and poetic—Bullock combines horror and brutality with unexpected moments of tenderness.


– Observer



The voice she gives to Norris as memories and delusions meld in his disintegrating mind is a haunting one.
